Re: Frankenbike 2 - magnesium Weight Weenie build
Yeah the planning is the fun bit reasearching whats good versus the spend. I'm assuming good old Shimano XT is a benchmark for cost v weight before the law of diminishing returns kicks in but finding those little unknown gems and bargains is exciting. I threw a bit of cash at my Scalpel in a bit of a no compromise way (still all second hand though as could never in a million years afford a new one !) so this is the other end of the scale and I'm enjoying the chase - despite some rogue stealing my Ebay wheels lol.
I thought this would be a fun project as the frame pretty much owes me nothing and because its a Carerra then I know no-one will want it !
