>>1797729I think for both companies, those prices are JUST frame and fork. Theoretically, you're probably on your own for components. But if you've got $3.5k to drop on a steel frame, you're not exactly concerned about components, either. Hooray for bifurcated economies.
But theoretically nothing's stopping you from putting on AliExpress or Wal-Mart parts, lol.
This here's a Raleigh Lenton. Think a Raleigh Sports-
Shared a Raleigh Sports' frame degrees. Fenders, Dynamo hub, all the same geometries and things that made the Raleigh Sports a great bike and commuter.
But with Alloy rims, handlebars, stem, and, oh, right, the frame/fork is all Raleigh 531. Cost less than a Superbe, somehow.
Only made 'em for a few years, but seriously these things are worth saving. Basically took all the flaws of the Raleigh Sports and solved them.
