I've got a set of MOst Wildcats with Conti GP4000s you can have for £150. Wheels have done about 500 miles and tyres about 200. Also includes an Ultegra 12-25 cassette.

PM me if interested.

What kind of riding are you going to do? Is it hilly or flat?

 

[johnno1812]

what i read online said that the MOst Wildcats arent very good? but ill consider it but its a bit much for me 150 buddy.

 

[johnno1812]

i live in oldham so its mainly going to be hilly and not much flat until it warms up then im gonna try a few comps.

 

[Sittingduck]

I would consider getting a compact chainset, that's usually 34 teeth on small ring and 50 on big. May help getting up hills, because you could struggle in a hilly area, when you are starting off. You could even consider a triple, for an even wider range. Of course, you may well climb like a wippet, who knows One of the Groupsets above mentions 39/53 which is a standard double, not a compact. Have a look online at the differences between road bike gearing, before ordering, imho.

 

[johnno1812]

if i get a triple chainset tho, do i need a crazy expensive groupset??

 

[Sittingduck]

No - the groupsets will be very similar, just a few subtle changes, depending on which one you get. For example, you can get a Shimano 105 Triple groupset for pretty much the same price as a double, or compact double. Just pays to investigate a bit before splashing the cash. Different people will tell you different things about which variations they like or not. It's quite a personal thing. Could you perhaps test ride a few bikes and see which you get on with? If I was starting cycling and lived in a hilly area, I think I may well end up cursing the purchase of a standard double, but that's just me...

 

[johnno1812]

i started cycyling last summer and did a bit over the summer months and i cycle to work 3x a week anyway. i mean its only 10 mins each way but its better than nothing.. i currently have a bike but its not all that, Viking San Marino 2011.

 

[AndyRM]

Unless it's been altered, that's got a standard (39/53) double on it. You may find a compact a bit easier, but if you're coping with the standard I'd stick with it. Again though, this is personal preference.

 

[johnno1812]

its just arrived and wow its amazingly light,
it has an ultegra sg -x 53-B built in, do you think thats the same

standard (39/53)

what u said andy?

 

[AndyRM]

That would be the outer chainring, in standard size.

Do you have any pics of the frame? Looks a really nice one!

No probs. The wheels are sound but suffer because they're not as fancy as competitor offerings on similar bikes. I think it's a fair price with the tyres and cassette but no worries - just thought I'd try my luck.

Happy building anyway :-)

 

[johnno1812]

the innerchainring says sgx 10s 39-b
