Here is a budget bike I just finished sorting,
It started off as a "Grand Universal" alloy mountain bike I found on facebook for 20 quid.
The lady I got it off was a little concerned that it had flat tyres but I reassured her it wouldn't be a problem
Here's a stock photo, pretty much how it was when I got it.
Here is a list of guff I bought for it
Rigid alloy forks to replace the nasty zoom suspension ones (£27)
Carbon handlebars (£15)
alloy stem (£5)
alloy seatpost (£10)
seat (£20)
second hand wheels off ebay (£20)
Schhhewwaabbbellelele blackjacks 2.1 (£36)
new slime filled tubes (£10)
ez fire shifters/levers (£25)
grips/bar ends (£10)
new cassette (£10)
Used pedals (free)
universal fit mudguards (that didn't fit) (£15)
Vinyl wrap (silage tape) (£2.50)
rear light/laser (£10)
Total, £235, turns out to be by far the most I ever spent on a bike. I've had cheaper cars!
