Im hopefully getting a frame soon, and just wondered if this United build kit was any good?
Cheers T

seems a tad expensive to me :-\ for that sort of money i'd rather buy custom gear from whatever company you like?

Yep - waaaaay overpriced. You could buy better seperates for that amount of lolly :)

Thanks people. It is what i had suspected, just wanted to ask before i start a build :daumenhoch:
-
As above have all said. They are for people with too much money and no imagination. You can buy the best quality parts second hand and build a top notch rider for a lot less than that.

Astonishingly naive of United / Source pricing the kit so high, really. :idiot2:
That kit could have been a fantastic way of introducing peeps to custom builds, and drawing new customers into buying a high end custom frame from them. :coolsmiley:
I reckon with the right pricing structure that kid could go a bomb. But, some peeps are just plain greedy, so there you go......
£529 for the kit, or, as Rob has pointed out, £599 with a nice frame thrown in and built up. Plain daft. :idiot2:

That was my initial though... "what a nice idea to do a parts kit"
Looking around you can get A LOT of very nice custom parts for that sort of money
