So ive done two of these threads before one s works venge and one s works tarmac.
with the winter months well underway and not being able to get out much i decided to sell my road bike, i was planning on building a simple bike with a racier geometry with simple 105 then i saw a foil for sale with old 105 and horrid silver r500 wheels for 900 and i thought... No i can do better than that if i shop around so here it is. I set myself a budget £850 to get the best bike i could and here is what i found.
Scott foil frameset including mavic krysium wheels/ tyres £500 (found local via facebook)
Brand new sram rival 22 groupset excluding cassette ( wifli so i can run up to 32 rear cog) (ebay dont know how they can sell them so cheap)
Kuota carbon handle bars £25 (facebook)
Specialized s works bar tape £7 ( facebook)
Ultegra 11 speed 11-25 cassette £25 (facebook)
Deda zero 1 stem (£16 ribble)
2x elite bottle cages and muc off chain lube ( £10 chain reaction
Total... £853 bugger £3 over! But for a spotless scott frame and wheels and everything else brand new.... Bargain
So thats a scott foil with full sram rival 11 speed and krysium wheels for £853 think ive done well?
Bits arriving at various days thisweek ill post follow up photo's daily a stuff arrives, frame is due thursday so wont get too exciting until then.
