A couple ideas though: 1. try to go to some of the early races, some guys will have bought new bikes for the new season, and may be looking to get rid of their old ones, 2. sometimes there are swaps at the races, and I have seen some pretty good deals on frames and components, 3. Dorothy and her organization keep a stable of rentals and bring them out to each race, $10.00 per rental. I don't know if you can reserve them ahead of time, or if it is first come, first served, but its not a bad way to go, and you can try different ones in a race situation.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09787626178844952253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-874243961560423805.post-25519351288254813772011-08-02T08:19:42.341-07:002011-08-02T08:19:42.341-07:00Any suggestions on building an inexpensive cross b...Any suggestions on building an inexpensive cross bike ?
