Hmm. While I appreciate your early interest and support for the challenge I will have to refer to the initial posting. Bikes should be taken at purchase value and parts on it coming off do not count as adding to your total budget. In that sense this one with the parts taken off would still amount to your $60 initial price.

I bought the acquisition below this Wednesday for $60, because the brakes and levers, Tektro R559 + Cane Creek SCR-5, go for $40 + $20 respectively on ebay. Those components are destined for another frame as they look terrible on that Super Le Tour. So the non-black goodies, including the frame, are incidental to the purchase. What is the assigned value to the frame, wheel set, cranks, quill and bars, minus the brakes?
BTW, I will have three builds, then decide which to ride.
