I picked up a wee bargin on TradeMe today. Most of a good quality mountain bike (frame, forks, seat, derailiers, chain, cranks, pedals and headstem) for $100. I had been shopping for a better quality frame to use on my xtracycle because the one I have is pretty cheap and nasty. Ok for what it was designed for, but making it into an xtracycle and expecting it to carry heavy loads is probably pushing my luck. I ended up getting not only a better frame, but also better brakes, better seat stem, and better front shocks. The looks I got carrying a bike home, on my bike, were priceless.
