Bike build kit - really cheap?

nawty

I've been looking for a frame and bits to build a commuting bike (and teach me bike mechanics!) and I came across this deal which to my untrained eye seems really cheap:

Could anyone tell me what I've missed?

Presumably it wouldn't have to go on a Kinesis frame either?

That actually looks pretty good value. Bolt it onto a P/x or ribble frame or even a Chinese carbon and you would have very respectable bike for about £650- £700.

You need a frame to take the crank. Probably a BSA frame.

Decent value considering it has a set of wheels albiet its not the sort of wheels people really want. But for your commute it should be fine.

Ya get a set of carbon bones...PX frames should suffice.

Seems like a decent price. Nowt wrong with those wheels, perfect for a winter/commuter and are bombproof. Even keep an eye out for a decent second hand frame on here in the classifieds.

Good luck with the build. As long as you have the right tools its pretty straight forward.

That looks very good value! Tempted myself... Do I need a fifth bike though?

Bloody hell that does look good. My brother is in the market for his 1st bike.

Now....what frame. I think px/ribble would be perfect.
