Thinking of building a first frame, good non-drivetrain components
I already have a drivetrain and wheels all picked out (SRAM Rival, Mavic Aksium), but what are good companies to buy the other parts from?
Fork is included, so by my estimation, I need
Stem
Headset
Bars (and tape)
Seatpost
Saddle
Pedals
I don't need light-weight stuff, alloy is fine for the bars/stem/post. What are good, reputable companies to buy these from, and what can I expect to pay for all of this?
