Hello everyone,
I am in the process of purchasing a new road bike (I am getting a guy to build me one, and I am trading him my backcountry skiis for it) and I was wondering if you could provide me with some information on whether or not I am getting a good deal. My ski setup would be worth around 600-700, and I was wondering if the bike would be similar in value. Thanks for any help.
here's what's together so far:
kona kapu frame, from the late 90s - great handling frame, light and stiff.
unknown brand crabon fork (1" threaded)
shimano ultegra headset
shimano ultegra brakes, also have a pair of 105s - i have a pair of 105 levers and a pair of tektro levers, you can have your pick
shimano 600 cranks
shimano ultegra 600 hubs - that may need to be rebuilt as wheels, i'm not excited about the condition of the rims
shimano 105 front and rear derailleurs
truvativ team seatpost
selle italia trans am saddle, but i have a few others
nitto stem, or a suntour or sakae one - depends on what length you'd like
i have a few handlesbars of different widths
seca tires 700 by 23
