I don’t have the money to actually get another bike for racing. While I could have just thrown down on one of my 26” bikes, I did want to do a bit of tinkering. I also wanted to make it as cheap as possible, and to show you how to do the same. So this is what I did. I’ve included a price break down so far.
Went to buy a bag of parts and came home with basically a whole bike
I’ve been wanting to do this for like five years.
So a while ago I wrote about the Coal Cross race in Cumberland. Since then I haven’t really stopped thinking about cyclocross.
I have to say, it is one of the funnest bikes I’ve ridden. The swoopy bars give it a nice cruisy vibe, but the burly tires make it able to go almost anywhere on the Island. If I didn’t have something that fit in this category already… and if it fit me just a bit better… I probably wouldn’t be selling it.
That being said, I am selling it. I’m asking $650 for it, but willing to entertain offers.
