I’m building up a 456 carbon, got a frame used (including seat and seatpost) for a very good price, and a bargain on some xfusion velvet forks.
The aim is to keep the price as low as possible whilst keeping it a burly, fairly aggressive hardtail- 140mm forks, shirt stem, wide bars sort of thing.
So far I’m looking at a full deore 2×10 groupset (needs to have a granny ring really, it’s for the missus!), with on-one cockpit, superstar wheels, whatever tyres are on sale.
£50 – Deore 2x crankset
£25 – deore shadow plus rear mech
£15-20 – Deore front mech
£10 – chain
£20 – shimano cassette
£30 – shimano shifters
£100 – superstar wheels
£10 – on-one hotbox 50mm stem
£15 – on-one el guapo bars (wide-ish)
brakes- to be decided
Rotors, something cheap
foam grips
Any suggestions as to where money can be saved, or any cheaper but just as good suggestions of components without sacraficing much?
Whole build is looking to come in around £650 at the moment (all new parts on a used frame).
Thanks
