hey there again guys, i just had an idea for a post that i think could be pretty cool if everyone chipped in... what's the best bike money can buy?? i want frame, forks, cranks, hubs (bearing in mind the warranty debarcles chrisking is having), tyres, derailleur, bars, stem, grips, everything (even bottombrackets and chains... the lot!) and dont worry abou tprice or value either (unless it's like 10 times the price for no reason) post your list of components (with prices if you know them) have fun dreaming  ;D charlie |
