I’m wanting to build a bike to my own specs, I thought I would be able to get a bit of a discount by buying the frame as second hand, but it’s proving oddly difficult to find any.

I tried Ebay thinking that would be the one, but it’s just loaded with Chinese brand frames.

Do I have to buy a new frame from the manufacturer?

    Cage plate will need to be larger to account for much larger gears.

    It’s seeming like the best option is to just buy a complete and then swap out the parts.

    I’m thinking I might just get a cheap Trance 2018 to keep me on the tracks in the meantime, and have this as a side project I can take my time on
