It's like buying a pre-build pc vs diy pc. If can find good deal for component I believe can be cheaper than buying complete bike of the same grade.

Provided the shops are flexible with their parts. If i tell them i want a GT body, with 1 x 10 speed, schwalbe kojak, adjustable stem, Ergon handles, and other individual components, BUT to rebate from those parts i dont want. Like that can?

From what I understand from my friend is he order the parts online, including frame and assemble himself.
I think you're referring to buying a full bike but swap out components you don't want and to those you want, not sure if lbs will do that.

think cannot. they come packed in boxes with most parts already installed. I heard the ewalker guy say the 2015 geometry is close to road bike geometry.

Planning to cycle from Thomson road to Chinese garden. Please advise if the following route is ideal:

Mt Pleasant rd > Stevens rd > Whitley rd > Trevose cres > Bt timah rd > Coronation rd > Holland rd > PCN

Thanks

Cheapest is complete bike online like canyon
2nd cheapest is frame n parts all buy online bring to shop to fix.

U can buy complete bike from shop n bring ur own parts they will buy back the parts from u although a low cost.

Some high end rb brands do sell frame only. For those u buy frame n bring ur own parts to fix.
