"Cheap" MTB Build Challenge Thingmybobo
Hi all,
The missus and I were talking over breakfast over the possibility of building really cheap but reliable mountain bikes that are also cheap and easy to maintain. They would be used by families in poorer regions of the word for getting around, hence cheap & cheerfull.
I know Tesco's and Halfords etc are making cheap bikes but we all know they are rubbish.
Just wanted to know what you guys could come up with, and if you think its possible.
Budget is 150 quidish / thereabouts
(also try not to use "spare stuff" found in your man/girl cave)

Is not possible from single parts. For £150 you might as well go to Decathlon and get Rockrider 5.1, or buy a second hand bike and repair it.0
