Do you think that if you had chosen all used and or lesser components that this build could come in at right around $300?
Also, which size frame did you order, and what size (cm) did it actually turn out to be?
uh... i did for the most part use used components, the 105 shifters, rd, crankset are all used... only the small parts (seatpost, bars, fd) are new. uh... i highly doubt it'd be possible to build a raceable bike at 300. the frame comes out to 90 and the fork would cost 30 or 40 at cheapest, and even a cheap wheelset is 70 or so. you won't find a group for 100 dollars.
i got a small, and it came in at a 51 cm ST, but the TT is actually the same length as my caad9 which is a 48. fit is comparable actually.
