For less than 100 I got a 53cm frame, specialized fork and headset, and sugino bb. What do you guys think? I've been searching craigslist for months and picked up a bike, found it was too big, and ended up selling it. After seeing countless bikes having rust issues or being out of my price range, I decided I might as well put in the extra money to build one myself that I would like and learn how to do almost everything myself. I mean I probably would end up wanting to swap out some of the parts on the road bike anyway.
But seeing how I'm building this bike I'm probably going fixed. Any recommendations on how to keep this build under 200 bucks (excluding what I already put in)? Thanks in advance.
