I fancy a Surly LHT and i have seen the Frames going for £350 and the Built Bike going for £1100.
I was thinking maybe i could build it my self on the cheap buy buying a Frame and using parts from a Mountain bike as i can pike one of those up for a couple of Hundred or less.
example bike Rockhopper 1999 specialised hard tail I am hoping to use wheels Gears sets and Brakes and if lucky bootm braket i have Handle bars and seat already.
does any one have experience of building a bike with parts salvaged from other Bikes?
basically looking for advice
