Anyone here build a bike from scratch with online parts? There are some pretty cheap whole bikes with decent reviews, but with a couple flaky parts. Maybe just upgrade those parts? Seems like anywhere wants around $600+ for a decent bike. I just want a steel frame, single speed that fits and rides well.
@daniel upgrading the less good parts would be my preferred approach, because you're starting with a functioning bike prior to upgrading anything
Trying to find a solid, well manufactured, basic frame would be the greater challenge I think
