Kaiser, telling me how little you've spent is irelevant when you have a parts bin of high end exotica.

I have a parts bin which can also be described as a scrap heap. I do not have titanium or double butted alloy at my disposal. I have plastic, high tensile steel and cheap rubber. Making a light bike without spending cash cannot be done.

So enough with your its easy and inexpensive nonsense. You lot have already done the expensive bit in the past and put it in your parts bin. I have never had the cash past or present :roll:

what I'm saying is the only thing in my parts bin that cost any money is the front wheel I bought in 96. everything else was an ebay bargain.
 
everything on mine cept the frame will come from the shed
no exotica involved tho i might fir light brake levers
these cost me £40 from the forum
not guilty of buying expensive stuff (much)
