  • I just bought this GT.

    I want to build up it up into a flat bar geared commuter/lock up bike. What is the cheapest way of doing this? (I know nothing of flat bars and associated groupsets)

    8/9/10/11 speed, 2x or 1x, new or secondhand, I really don't care, as long as it's cheap, works, and gives me at least 8 gears.

    Madison trade account says Sora flatbar G/S at £250. Are there cheaper options? Can't find much on ebay without dicking around with buying each part individually.

  • The cheapest approach will probably be buying used stuff from here or ebay. I once got a full Tiagra Set for 45. Probably search for some Tiagra stuff like deraileurs, brakes and Crankset here, and get the thumb shifters for it.
