So I've been trying to find a bike on craigslist in my area--but there are few listings that have what I'm looking for & are the right size. So I'm considering:
A) Build a bike from parts online
B) Buy a complete bike off of ebay
I'm not sure which is cheaper/better. I already have most of the tools for working on bikes after replacing my drivetrain on my last bike that got stolen. (Man, that was painful--stolen right after completion.)
Since I can't try out any of these online bikes before buying them--I suppose I just have to make the leap. I used some online calculators (ebicycles) to get a rough idea of my best size--but how accurate are these?
Any other comments, recommendations, or words of wisdom would be appreciated...
