I paid about $250 for this BITD.

And about $1700 for this over the past year.

Best part is,the original cost for each was about the same.

most expensive was my ASSASSIN at £220

Least expensive is my very nearly finished GHP at £160ish
and haro fst at £120

like to hunt for bargain bitz, throwin big bucks at a build defeats the object for me, i like to build stuff out of nowt, gather the bits and shot em together.

My Quad cost me about 200ish to biuld, but I did have the frame in the first place.

New school, I've spent far too much.

Over 2K on my Standard, 1500 on my Ripper, 1500 on my S&M.

I try to keep to a budget of £500 for each of my builds, although I do have a couple of ongoing builds that smash through that, due in the main to the cost of the frameset (eg I have a frameset I paid £400 for - no way that's going to come in at under £500)

gary4130 · « **Reply #19 on:** February 16, 2007, 07:51 PM »

cheepest £200
costliest don't want to say in case the wife finds out

Zippy · « **Reply #20 on:** February 16, 2007, 09:55 PM »

The thing is I can't build a cheap bike. I think the cheapest would be my Haro mirra at about 155. The most expensive is definetly my Azusa at about 890. ( just sold for a bargain basement price)

this fella here has cost about $1800aus

.....and this one cost about $800aus

freight and postage charges are easily 1/3 of the cost because i live in a remote area of Australia. you blokes in the UK are generally a bit dearer for bits but cheaper for postage and waaaaay quicker than our cousins in the US.
