If you were building a bike from scratch, how would you do it???
I look at it like this, if you spend the money on a good frame, you can upgrade your componets as you go.
But if you spend all your money on top shelf components and skimp on the frame, it seems you would be going backwards to upgrade frames.
Let say you choose a really good frame and then go with a combination of Dura-ace and ultegra componets, maybe some mavic wheels.
You can always upgrade your Ultegra to Dura-ace if you choose later when your budget can handle it.
Am I wrong in this line of thinking????
How about the following.....
If your budget was $1,500.00(US) for a new road bike how would you build it and with what????
Or go to the LBS and choose a bike in that price range????
By The Way.....
This is strictly for educational/discussion purpose's
I would not feel like I know enough about the latest stuff
out there to build my own bike at this time. I have been away
from biking for too long.
I already have a bike picked out at the LBS.
