Frame Fork Wheels - hubs, spokes, rims, tires, tubes, rim strips, quick releases seat post - seat post clamp (if not part of frame) saddle headset stem handle bar grips (or tape for road bike) cables & housing - derailure & brake, cable ends, housing caps brakes - calipers and levers shifters - front and rear (not needed if single speed) derailures - front and rear (not needed if single speed) chain cogset or single rear cog cranks - chain ring(s), chain ring bolts pedals bottom bracket (I don't think I missed anything) Also need the proper tools to assemble everything. The parts can be bought as a groupo and wheels can be bought pre-built. Good luck and have fun shopping!!!

I mean if I dont have the tools. I wish I could go shopping I am a 16 year old on a tight budget. I am planning on buying everything over time and by late this spring have a new bike that I will hopefully be in shape to ride (Rugby season starts this week and in the fall I hurt my back so bad I could not partake in anything even remotely physical).

a good rull of thum is to just add about $300-500+ to the price of your frame what ever you choose this is for the price of wheels and components and if you frame dosn't come with forks they can cost you anywhere from 200-600 more so i would suggest not holding back on the frame if your going to save up and buy parts one at a time
i recently finished my 96 hardrock and after deore components, deore lx crankset, and mavic wheels the grand price came to about 450-500 dolars (it realy didn't seem like i was paying that much to have a nice bike and realy gets me down when i concider that i could of bought a brand new auluminum complete hardrock for about 225 dolars used at my LBS) any way i payed about 75 for frame and forks and the price of tools will also factor in and put me over 600 dolars i would recomend buying the right tool for the right job at local bike shop and not breaking parts by using a screw driver and hammer to work on the bike some bike shops are nice enough to do small jobs for free (instalation of BB Instal of cassette and not to much moremaybe the wheels to the frame) |
