The rear derailleur is a cheap vertical parallelogram model, the crankset is swaged, the bars are steel, the levers have safety extensions, etc. The components them selves add minimal value, maybe $25-$50, so this would go for $150-$200, as is.
Yeah, my mistake. I don't know why I thought both bikes had the same components. This frame would make a real nice project though.
Quick question if I may - how do you differentiate between Shimano 600 and Ultegra components? I believe the 600 is the forerunner of the Ultegra, but are they the same or is their a difference?
