What you've all been waiting for... 2015 build kits: Smart Money

Hey, 2015 is... more than half over. And I finally got around to doing a new set of build kits.

Here's this year's "Smart" money kit. Notes: no pedals or saddle, shipping not included. GX cranks may be unappealing to some, but you're better off spending that money elsewhere IMO. Front derailleurs are still dead.

$3600 geared
$3200 singlespeed
$4600 full squish
Replace that old-school rigid post with a Thomson dropper for an extra $200!

Stem Thomson X4 
Handlebar Easton EC70
