Tom_ Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 i have just been given a german trials bike frame that resembels an old saracen x-cell. i have a few bits for it although i mostly need all new parts. The problem is im absolutley skint i was wondering how i could build my bike up as cheaply as possible.cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davetrails Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 the best bet would be either eBay, or chainreaction cycles and get some budget parts.although if you are building the bike on a super tight budget, you are still looking at about £150 to get it rollingwhy not start building the bike slowly and with better parts, i guarantee it will be worth it in the long run.either that or get validated and find some bargains in the for-sale section.

ZHI-sam Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 well my mate has built a trials bike for £90 but he was given quite a few parts. just save your money and but better components. if you get crap parts you will break them and spend more money than if you buy good quality parts.sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willdasexybeast Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 look on ebay or have a look around the for sale section of the forum and see if theres any good deals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
