Hi all,
I am looking to build my own road bike. I currently have a mountain bike, which I will not replace totally. But I would like to use a road bike on occasion.
I want to start with a second hand frame, that I will have sandblasted back to bare metal and then resprayed.
I will then slowly build up the components. I don't want to spend a fortune on it, as it won't get as much use as the MTB, plus the wife won't be happy if I go mad
I would like a good quality Aluminium frame, what make, age, should I look at.
I don't want to spend a lot on the frame, hoping for a bargain, when the time comes to buy one.
Then month by month, slowly create a bike.
