how much?

AdamJ

Please excuse the lack of knowledge coming p here, but bear with me (im usually a road bike kind of guy with limted knowledge as it is).

My brother has a fuji nevada 3.0 - it looks fairly old to my eyes. I was thinking about restoring it to full working order, and have so far concluded it needs the following:

Brake cables, gear cables, tyres, inners, handlebar grips, rear cassette, chain, probably new disk brake pads, not sure about the front rings.thats pretty muh everything bar a new frame isnt it!
I know its probably not much more to buy a new bike but im curious. Also the LBS has a habit of being a bit pricey, so if ts not too much to ask, what ballpark figure would i be looking at here? first guess is about £140 for parts?

Cheers

Your parts description is a bit too vague to get any real prices, but I'd be very surprised if you couldn't get everything you mentioned above (not the chainrings) for under £100.

Is this it?

So make a list of stuff you need and trawl the online bike shops.
Don't be lazy.

Cable inners, Wilkinsons supermarket, may be galvanised mild steel but thos on my commuter are still working after 4 years of year round use and look fine, they also do brake outers.

Gear outers, Jagwire are very cost effective, few quid off fleabay with decent end caps.

grips - KCNC off ebay for less than £7.

Chain - KMC off ebay, likewise cassette.

All told I reckon you could do it for circa £50.

thanks for the positive replies. I have had a quick look and come to about the same estimates, i think previously i had performance parts on par with the road bike gear as a basis for the original cost. Could be a go-er now then!
