All of that is Deore? Value ya say :shock:

RealMan

Think I would've spent a little more on tyres, as that's where you'd get the biggest difference for your money. Unless your budget this month was £500, that is.

Airienteer

Damn thats good value. Like RealMan I think I would have gone a tad over 500 for some better tyres though. Also Wellgo V8 Copys instead of the bear traps.

supersonic

Nowt wrong with those tyres lol for winter ;-)

But yes, swap and change as feel fit. I could have gone cheaper on saddle and stuff, but thought it was worth it for the quality of some parts.

dunker

reckon if i built that i'd go with an exotic rigid carbon fork
