It's my 40th birthday in 10 days and I'm splashing out. I'm getting a steel 29er MTB frame made for me (delivery shortly). It'll be run as a fully rigid singlespeeder.
I have a few parts already, but I need the following and I have exactly £350 left to spend:
- White Industries Eno crankset 175mm in silver
- 34t White Industries chainring for above crankset
- high end 27.2 by 330mm seatpost (Thomson, KCNC etc)
- high end standard (not oversize) 110 zero (or low rise) stem (Thomson, Hope etc)
- middle/upper range square taper bottom bracket, 73mm shell 118 length
- middle/upper range handlebars, zero rise (flat), silver, not too long and no sweep
- middle/upper range 1 1/8" silver headset
- middle/upper range pair straight silver bar ends (not curved, not L-bend)
The Eno stuff takes the lion's share and I can't seem to squeeze the rest of the items out of the rest of the budget.
Your challenge:
Find me all of those items in new or very good 2nd hand condition within my budget. Source can be anywhere - Ebay, overseas etc. But don't fancy waiting ages for them to arrive or paying import type taxes ideally.
If you can't squeeze under £350 what's the closest you can get? Need linkys to purchase site (Ebay, bikeshop etc) or thread if it's 2nd hand on a forum etc.
Are you up to the challenge?
