Hello,

Im in to minds, Im not sure if I should Build a Ragley Rodwell from scratch or Just buy the Focus Mares, After spec'ing up a Ragley its going to work out £250 dearer then just going and buying the similar spec'ed focus!

I only really fancy the Ragley for the colour!I know a Cheap place for spraying so could always change the focus.

Also Tempted to sell my Singular to pay for it (would make the Wife happy!) as I got to go the Finance route.

Are there any other options around the 750 - 1250 mark?

Cheers Steve

I had an aluminium Focus road frame (Variado expert) and it was grim, so i'd steer clear of the Mares. That might be unwarranted prejudice though.

If you're going to build the bike yourself, rather than take it to the LBS, I'd go for the Ragley option. For me, you can't beat the feeling of riding a bike you've spent the time and effort on putting together...

Yea I enjoyed building the Swift and dont really want to sell it,

Just trying to think of the most cost effective way, Just like the look of the Ragley.
