Why spend the bucks to build one when there are gazillions of radical bikes for sale at unbelievable bargain prices?

I would buy one and be sure of what I want to build... you may find that the bikes that folks build are usually nice for a ten mile ride but not much more than that.

If you really want to ride.... there are some great deals out there...

Just MHO...

There is a slew of bikes available. What would be YOUR preference is the question. sport, custom, cruiser, touring, etc the list goes on and on. I've owned abut every one with exception of a sport buke, they are a little to cramped for me.

As above,, looks for some deals on used ones...

U'll probably save 50% or more of the money U'd invest in buying the parts and putting one together..

If U still insist on building there's thousands of on line markets.. I couldn't even begin to list them all.
Doing search's in each area is where I'd start..


Look at all the Sponsor's of this forum for a start...
