Hi everybody.
So I've just recently moved to the UK, and been struggling to find a bike I like which I can afford.
I originally started with a budget of 500 for a complete, but have now moved this up to 700 quid.
I can get a Cinelli Gazzetta complete for this amount, but I'm wondering if there's anything else you'd recommend for that much money?
I'm ok with purchasing frame and components separately (would prefer to do that), but total build <= 700.
In terms of components, anything similar quality to what is on the stock Gazzetta is fine with me.
I'd prefer another frame (steel, track geometry, + lugs if possible). I really like the Brothers Reynolds Track frame, but I doubt I can build it up for less than 700 pounds (wheels, crank, stem, handlebar, etc.) If it is possible, please let me know.
Your suggestions, thoughts and recommendations are most appreciated.
