John the Monkey said:As I remember, something like £800 - the frame was the biggest chunk of that at £375 (£350 frame and fork, £25 for the LBS to supply and fit an FSA headset). Other than fitting the headset cups, cutting the fork steerer and setting the star nut, all the build was done by me.

Yeah - buying a new, built LHT was £899 (Wiggle) at the time I built mine - in some ways it doesn't make sense at all, although this bike is pretty much exactly the way I want it (on the built bike I'd have had to change the stem, add racks, etc etc).threebikesmcginty said:Lovely looking bike - surprising how it all adds up isn't it, having just put my own together I know!!

threebikesmcginty said:That was one of them, yes!
just jim said:Can I borrow it then?
threebikesmcginty said:I can't work out if you're just being cheeky or not!!
But if you send it back with a couple of quid to cover my postage then yes!!
just jim said:That sounds great though. Shall I pm you with details and so forth?
