Building a £10 cyclocross frame into a race machine.

Welcome to the first Time for Bike video in quite some time – and boy is it a good one!

The frame was new and was an unbelievable buy form eBay for just £10.50 (about $12.00). I really did not think that the seller would actually sell it to me for that even though I won it fair and square – but he was true to his word and I collected it! Next I thought was it stolen – well from what I could make out he was a genuine guy that even introduced me to his lovely mother when handing the bike over. Also this chap seemed to know a lot about the local cyclocross scene. I have always wanted a good quality cyclocross bike, especially a disc brake bike with a 11sp, hydraulic Shimano setup. Some great parts were sourced over a little while to let me build up this bike from a mix of quality used parts and also new. The video has full breakdown of the bikes costs and this extended video will show you each and every one of them being installed. The frame came with a headset, bottom bracket, seat post and clamp, and also a stem and associated spacers. This bike was not ridden at all until the race day that followed it final completion the day before. Obviously not the best prep as there was no time to test – however the bike rode well and stayed in one piece allowing for a mid field finish. A great start to its muddy life! Please tag along to watch the 'Building a £10 cyclocross frame into a race machine' and see if you could build this amazing bike for less.
