And the budget gets blown out the water...

Scratching my head over shifting - no sti and no down tube mount so I fit the only remaining option - bar end shifters.

Then the ebay curse strikes again, Sora STI, chainset, BB and a few other parts and I win it with the opening bid.

Damn you ebay! Damn you!

I think I'll flog the parts I have left over rather than the usual hoarding.

Maybe...

So, here its is.

Budget build roadie

Then I went into the local bike shop to see Forme and a few other budget brands knocking out reasonable bikes for £299 :facepalm:

Anyway, scraped in under the £200 mark by a whisker, a nad, a nubbin.

9spd Sora, DA chainset and Tiagra mechs

just the bar tape to finish
