Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / My workswell horror story
« on: February 22, 2018, 02:32:05 AM »
I ordered and paid for a frame just over 3 months ago now
Nothing has been sent and I'm pretty sure I've been ripped off
Its that or this will be a new record time for slowest delivery of an open mould frame ever
I made the mistake of paying via bank transfer so i'm unable to cancel the transaction

Just a friendly heads up^^

29er / Building a new 29er under $2k AUD / 1.5k USD
« on: August 31, 2016, 06:03:13 AM »
I have just started getting a rough idea of a new build.

The bike will be used for occasional xc and bikejoring races (mostly firetrails).

Heres my build so far:

Frame   062   $456 Workswell   
Handlebars   720mm carbon   $50   Workswell
Stem   ?      
Wheels   ?      
Crank Arm   ?      
BB   ?      
Brakes   SLX   $180   
Grips   Funn Combat   $14   CRC
Pedals   Electron Evo   $51.99   CRC
Shifter   XT M780 10 Speed   $48.99   CRC
Mech   XT M786 10 Speed   $79.37   CRC
Cassette   XT M771   $58.79   CRC
Chain   KMC X10SL Gold   $44   Ebay
Chainring   Black Oval 34t   $46.54   CRC
Saddle   ?   ?   
Seatpost   Chinese Carbon   ?   Workswell
Tyres   Ikon/Crossmark   $110   Ebay
Fork   Chinese   $150   Workswell
         
Total    so far is $1300 AUD which leaves about $500 for wheels.

Since I'm in Australia unfortunately my second hand market is not as good as you guys in Europe or America :(
I might be able to pick up a wheelset second hand but it could take months!
Same deal with forks so I figured I'd be better off picking up rigids whilst waiting for a good deal.

Does anyone have any ideas for some of my gaps? I was also thinking about  chinese rims or even one of the cheaper chinese sets with novatec hubs

and stem size? I currently ride a slack 26er with a 35mm stem
5"8 on 17 inch frame leaves meguessing around a 70/80mm stem?
