Going by the prices arthur mentioned, I might just stick to buying a good secondhand one. Budget is low as I'm selling my bike dirt cheap to my brother, so I'm obviously seeking the cheapest alternative. I've done a few repairs in the past so I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty but by the looks of it, it doesn't seam like a good alternative.
