Bargain buys thread

[Zaf]

Lol. You definitely live by that philosophy with what you spend.

Any day now...

I love we justify it as a "bargain" build. Imagine what you'd save if you didn't build it!

This is how I've justified it.

It will save me in the long run if I take this out into the winter slop instead of my trail bike, sure there'll be ongoing maintenance with this but I had all the parts sitting in the garage collecting dust and the frame cost me less than the price of a cassette replacement on the dually. Only other things I need to buy are a BB, new cinch chainring and maybe a bashie/chain guard.

And more importantly, 'cause bikes

Dude, why are you justifying it to me? We're not married. Besides you had me at " 'cause".

Cool hair. So you're compensating! It's all good bro. It's just jealousy on my part

That is awesome hair. If I had a do like that I'd be president of something.

Justifying it to myself again more than anything because that website was tempting me for days and none of the other cheapskates looked like they were going to buy it...

I love spending money on bike shit, but it has to be the biggest bunch of baloney I've seen.

Just go belt drive, more efficient than a chain for anything other than light loads and doesn't need lube.

Pushys stood by their earlier comment about having to pay for the axle for my PP order. Which is a shame really, but not the end of the world.

Looking forward to building this beast up!

Htf does a new frame come without an axle?

Yeah I mentioned this to him but he stood his ground! I don't get ti either...

Ahh well, the frame was the right price

Just grabbed a 29 pike off pushys for $729

It's 150mm but hey at that price I can change travel to 120mm and still be in front.

There is a $20 off code in the discount thread that worked as well...

One of these?

Nice, I really should get big hair one day too. He sings like Carl Sagan, put it down to the wonder of autotune.

Happy Little Clouds will do me fine

Auto tune is an amazing gift...
