Alright a few random questions. Haha..

Anyone has a general idea about how much it would cost to build a bike, if I already have a frame, RD, FD, Chain, Hubs, cranks and pedals? I'm going for a durable, but towards the lower-end of stuff.

Oh, and I read that this bunch of people are going on the Silk road with modified Jamis Coda Sports (lower gears, different tires). What do you guys think?

Thanks guys!

Well you mean just components, no frame or bags or racks? Around $600-700 for middle of the road stuff if you go for a nice saddle like a brooks and already have a frame. You can save if you look for deals or used stuff obviously. probably cheaper just to buy a bike from bikes direct.

A good starting point is just look at a few build kits from online stores and price it out.
