>>932807If /out/ still has archives you should look up tourfat, he was a fat OG /out/ist who successfully crossed America on a shitty bike with almost no money and no initial experience.
If your funds are limited:
1) used bikes are much better value than new, and old rigid mountain bikes are cheap and plentiful. Hybrids can work too.
2) cheap frames will do the job, but invest in good wheels
