Yes I need to look into that option some more. Should clarify though,
I'm not looking at building the bike myself. One of the bike places
here sells used bikes but will add some new parts to build the bike
that you want (and obviously depending on condition). So far I'm
figuring new brakes, saddle and shifters would be the main things I'd
be looking for. Other upgrades would depend on price.
