bob87 Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 It depends on the sort of build you are looking for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara Logan-Price Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 and how many different shops you order from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob87 Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 (edited) and how many different shops you order fromFor sure. If your going to build the bike from scratch try and order most or all of the parts from the same shop and ask for a discount for buying a big order.Some companys are good like that.What sort of spec are you looking at?

bob87 Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 what is better a t-comp or a t-pro?I would say the T-Pro but i ride stock.It just looks a bit longer and maybe a bit smaller, and the tubing looks to be stronger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danfox23 Posted July 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 ok thanks because i have found the t-pro for the price i said and i have found some Magura HS33 Red&White Hydraulic Brake Set Armored Cable for 107 pounds incl p+p. can some one list all the parts that i would need please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob87 Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 OK, apart from the frame and maguras you'll need:Stem+BarsWheels+tyres and tubesHeadsetFreewheel+chainChain tensioners or snail-camsCranks+bottom bracketThat's pretty much it i think?Check Ebay, its great for small bits and pieces like this.

bob87 Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 pretty much most of the things in the drive section like the front and rear derailleursSome of the parts in the drive area are useful but you don't need front or rear mechs on a mod frame.Any other parts your not sure about?Also quick release thingies to keep the wheels on. Can't for the life of me remember their name.Forks wouldn't go amiss either. Skewers?How the hell could i forget forks.Sorry about that.

danfox23 Posted July 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 (edited) Forgot to ask this at the start of this post but is it second hand, new or both your looking for? both probaly because the t-pro frame and brakes a brand new off ebay and i probaly would be looking for second hand parts to get it built cheaper. Does any one have the lenght of the t-pro frames in inches. i would like the measurment just of the framesplease no forks Edited July 9, 2006 by danfox23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayn3 Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 In the long run i think buying all the parts defiantly will be cheaper, because then you will get what you, and probley wont have to upgrade anyparts of your bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
