I'll start off with a serious request... please keep in mind though that the most bicycle related diy i've done was to take off all my mtb components, regreasing all the bearings and some seals and swopped out a cassette.

 

I'd like to experiment with building a workable track bike, or even a road bike with a new 105 groupset. If anyone have cheap (because experimenting and also finances) but fair frames/wheels for either of these, I'd be pleased to have a look!

 

edit: forgot to add I'm +- 186cm, so probably a large. Also wouldn't mind building a bike for my sister who is about uh, 170cm or something.

 

so u want a new to u bike?

Pay attention when you read something. Look at my bold sentence above. 

I'm asking to buy a cheap frame because of my finances.

What bike are you looking at building for your sister? I have a Bianchi c2c Nirone that’s hanging around the garage, it’s got a carbon fork and rear , size medium. Let me know

Managed to get some done with donations from club 100

Couple more to go though. This is for a good cause guys.

Hi Ryan's dad. At this point I'm eager to assemble anything that she can do the 94.7 on. I'm going to drag her out to Suikberbosrand as soon as she gets fit enough :devil: 

 

I should probably have typed it more clearly that the track bike tinkering/road bike would be built for myself and a simple road bike for my sis.

I have a nice, slightly older road bike hanging in the BOMB garage. The left shifter is blown (me thinks) and maybe you need to fix a puncture or 2. Give me a Private Message if you are interested to come and have a look. Have a look at what we do: facebook.com/BOMBcenturion
