mark ellis Posted May 6, 2010 Share Ok so after many weeks of pondering and pondering I have decided to build up a Zula. I have never done a custom build before, always got "of-the-shelf" bikes. How should I prioritise my parts spec? So if I ordered my parts as in quality and price should it look something like this: FrameGroupsetForksWheelsBars, StemSeat, seat post With my budget was thinking about going Zula frame, xx groupset but am lost as to what to use for the rest. Was thinking to spend the most on Fram, Group set and wheels, then get standardish other stuff and upgrade it later as needed. Am I on the right path here?

BrendonMyb Posted May 6, 2010 Share yup your priority looks good there imo you got lotsa money though for a build like that !! will look really sweet once done though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bike Mob Posted May 6, 2010 Share I would go: Frame Fork Wheels Group Brakes Saddle Finishing Kit - bar, stem. post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreZA Posted May 6, 2010 Share My priorities are different. 1,2,3 = Seat 4 = fork 5 = frame 6 = tyres 7 = rest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splat Posted May 6, 2010 Share Your budget/wallet may end up making some decisions for you... It's no use having XX and then fitting average wheels and anchor bar/stem/seatpost/saddle etc, so you wanna balance it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimby Posted May 6, 2010 Share I've alos never built up a bike myself before but would love to do it when the $$s are available. Her would be my order of priority: 1. Frame 2. Fork 3. Wheelset 4. Gruppo (incl. Brakes) 5. All the other bits... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koukie Posted May 6, 2010 Share Am I right if I say that when you run the XXgroup your only option for a rear derailr is the > R2300 XX rear derailr? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daft Vader Posted May 6, 2010 Share Dude, Don't skimp on the headset either. I recommend Hope or Chris King. Otherwise, I'm with Tarmac and Bos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WR 1.0 Posted May 6, 2010 Share My priorities are different. 1' date='2,3 = Seat 4 = fork 5 = frame 6 = tyres 7 = rest[/quote'] You only looking after your ass? I recon if you are willing to spend that amount of cash on a frame, you are aware of the importance of a good seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
August Posted May 6, 2010 Share For me fork is pretty important... Some one said something true about putting XX on then its not worth skipping on the rest. I Agree. Whats the use paying for something so light, an then putting on a heavy wheelset and fork.My 2c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
