My first Cross build. Done on the super cheap thanks to Troy Bike Rescue (
http://myspace.com/trinityrescue).
The parts are mainly whatever was on hand. Including an Iron Horse 700c hybrid frame (rattlecaned by yours truly), stock Fuji/Alex wheels, RPM cranks and a salsa ring. I bought a 13/28 8 spd cassette, new chain, some bar tape, tires, and cross levers. Total investment well under $100.
I took it out for the first ride today. I will need a chain guard and keeper for sure as I droped the chain twice in 30 min. The one bar end shifter slips a little, but once I iron out those issues, I should be all set to hurt myself this fall.
