Thaught I'd share what a $200.00 bike looks like, and that you can still have a lot of fun with a clearance frame and all of the old components you might have taking up space in the shop.
It's a Zion mt bike frame with the eccentric BB, which I thought would be cool for this kind of bike. I always wanted a disc braked SS roady, so I built up the 700c wheels with leftover parts, a SS rear mt bike hub, an old LX front hub and some unmachined velocity aeroheads. The cranks are Campy Chorus 175mm, an old suntour grease guard BB that I'd been hording for who knows what, and old mt pedals (the kind we used before spd's).
It's really fun to ride, but I wouldn't be doing a century on it any time soon.
