The "JunkYard X" build begins...
Still not sure if that will be the final name, but call it a working title for now.
Many of you recall, the JunkYard Dog. Bare aluminum Scattante road frame/fork, Open Pros, Ultegra... Pieced together for about $600. Can be seen terrorizing local races/rides here by generally looking ugly. Sticker on the chainstay says, "West Linn Gun and Bible Club". Got my 20% Performance coupon and started on an equally ugly, but functional cross bike to replace the MTB I've been using. The basic concept is an old school CX racer / commuter / winter bike. 9-speeds with barends. Single ring in front. Should go about 20lbs. ready to go. So far: - Titan Wheelset. $119 minus 20% = $95 - 10% Team Perf. bucks = $85.50 - Scattante frame/fork $300 - 20% = 240 - 10% Team Perf bucks = $216 - Old XTR crankset - garage inventory - XTR BB - garage inventory - Bars/Stem/Seatpost/Saddle = Price Point $120 - SPD 520 Pedals - Garage Inventory - DA 9 Speed Barcons - $55 ebay - 12-32 rear cassette - garage inventory - XT cantilevers (circa 1996) - garage inventory - XT rear deraileur - garage inventory That's where we are now. Need a cheap set of regular brake levers. Old Ultegra or some of the new Cane Creeks. Should be ready to race for under $500. |
