Build #3 – Additional Parts

One would think that when you spend a couple hundred bucks for a used bicycle, you wouldn’t have to put a lot more money into it to make it yours. But the reality is you should expect to put another couple hundred into a fairly well maintained used bike (before electrification). Below is a list of the parts I’m putting on the Gary Fisher bike, in addition to the $1200 Bafang kit. Before tax, these additional parts cost about $370.
