View Full Version : buying frame and wheels only?

I've been collecting touring components over the past year in hopes of building a bike for a tour this summer. I have everything but a frame and wheels at this point. I'm sponsored by a cannondale/specialized dealer (as a racer) so I'm a bit partial to the T800 or T2000 frame. Are these available as frame only? Also, I'm looking for a reasonably cheap wheelset with lx or xt hubs...maybe tiagra or 105?

So far, I have:

sugino xd600 crank
un72 BB
r400 brake levers
shimano 550 canti brakes
nashbar "lite" al bars
dura ace downtube AND barend shifters (though I love STI)
