jack1340 Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 I have a tight ish budget and was wondering if I would get a better spec/bike if I built it that if I bought a full bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HippY Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 go on of buying a full bike, do not buy parts, believe me I payed 300 pounds for my bike (mainly) built up with second hand parts, and it does not worth that much there are better deals at full bikes, but wait for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIGAN ?? Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 Swings and round abouts really you're beTter off buying parts to get the right spec for you but that said you could come across a nice full build for cheap its just down to finding the right deals and pot luck really, I always buy second hand though as long as the condition is right for the price, trials parts are just too disposable to be buying new all the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harmertrials Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 Bought a frame last week for very cheap, just as something to build up over time as a bit of a mess around comp thing. Spent £650 so far. Oops. Buy a full build mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIGAN ?? Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 (edited) Like I said though, its a bit of luck and knowing where the deals are, I got my frame forks front wheel front tire stem and front brake for under 200 and its not shit stuff either Edited April 28, 2013 by WIGAN ?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
