Hello all,
After having saved up for a long time I m finally going to buy a higher end bike.If I had to spend about 2000$ what should be my most important consideration ; The frame or the components? This is an important question at the moment because I am have the choice of 2 bikes (on ebay) one a kestrel sci with reasonable components (105 and ultegra).The other bike is a mid level track frame (500$ retail for frame) buts it;s built up with phil wood dura ace, king and other treasures. Both bike are asking arounf 2000$ "buy it now". Anyway, to cut very long story short,what is the most important part of the bike -ie; what should I really spend the money on; great frame average parts or great parts average frame.
