Budget Singlespeed road bike
Posted: Thu Jun 07, 2012 8:14 pm
Hi,
I would like to build quite light single speed road bike, but my budget is limited. I am a lot into MTB, but have only little knowledge about road bike parts. I have made following list using chainreactioncycles.com
part / weight on CRC / price in euros
Frame Ebay carbon 1150 700
Fork Ebay carbon 400 0 (comes with frame)
Wheels Shimano Ultegra Wheels 6700 1650 350
Brake levers Shimano R400 Brake Levers 260 40
Brakes Mavic SSC Road Brakes - Pair 315 100
Stem Any lightweight 130 40
Handlebars FSA RD-305 Carbon Pro Road Bars 240 50
Bar tape Any Gel Bar Tape 50 10
Cranks SRAM S300 1.1 Chainset with GXP cups 900 115
Chain HG73 Chain 9 Speed 270 15
Skewers Any, but pair 100 10
Seatpost Ritchey WCS V2 250 40
Saddle Selle Italia SLR 140 100
Tyres Any around 200g 2x 420 70
Tubes Any lightweight 2x 180 15
---
Total - 6400 grams, 1650 euros.
While I am writing this I feel myself that that too high weight / price ratio. My budget is max 1000 euros. What would be reasonable weight for single speed road bike below 1000 euros?
