Sorry if i am being stupid, but after purchasing a frame and a groupset (inc wheels), is it just tyres and pedals left to buy after that or am i missing something??

ThankYouVeryMuch

Fork, brakes, bars, stem, post, grips, saddle

Beat me to it lol

Maybe skewers too.

Bugger, forgot to say fork. So frame + fork + groupset + brakes + bars + stem + post + grips + saddle = complete bike?

ThankYouVeryMuch

Headset
Cables
Seat clamp
chain

headset?

gah beaten to it

Cables, Housing, inner tubes/valve stems/sealant, seat clamp, headset

possibly a crown race

Thanks for the info. Guess i badly underestimated what components it takes to build a bike. I thought it would be cheaper to buy frame/fork and groupset than to buy one 'off the peg'

ThankYouVeryMuch

possibly a crown race

are you sure? I seem to recall a thread that had something to say on this?

you may find the groupset comes with brakes…

lol!

spokey dokeys

Headset spacers 😆

*Definitely* a crown race. Often overlooked and very hard to get hold of.

did i miss something …. a crown race …

That's rarely the case

Tie-wraps?

Spare mech hanger, buy one now before you need it.

Can't help but think Elvis may have just blown his budget!

@soup : i think so too! Albums are not selling as well as they once were 😥

ThankYouVeryMuch

bell?

You seem to have forgotten rim tapes too! 😮

Pedals, star fangled nut?

valve caps ?

Tyres!

And you may (or may not depending on who you ask) decide to get the BB faced.

It would appear that…………………..

Elvis has left the building! 😆

Duh – nobody's mentioned air for the tyres!!!
