Gotta show off
This is my *****in budget build, and i gotta brag to somebody, so go ahead, bask in its *****in budgetness
Totals bring it to 1,025 including a few tools
Frame (bb+headset) $300 on cl, it is a bit cosmetically damaged but nothin I can't deal with
Groupset+wheels+bars, 105 last years i think $390
Crank $80
seat+seatpost $40
tools and other crap $215ish cages, pedal wrench, cable cutter, other finishing bits
Now the important thing... the weight
18.0 lbs
8165 grams
Race ready(except stupid junior gearing and new brakes) bike in about 1k
Your thoughts?

Yeah it's a pretty sweet ride. I wish I could my bike down below 20. I think it's closer to 22, despite having a 2012 10-sp 105 group set and CF fork and seat post. Of course that's also with some old@$$ SPD pedals, bag, lights, and computer all installed on it.
