Hello Gents and Ladies.
one simple request.
Please give me a Parts list that would allow me to build a complete custom bike with a bugget of $900- $1000 USD

If possible I would like you to build around a Quamen Cyphr or KHE A-Damn Pro Frame.
I have these two frames need other parts

Thank You

Why a Cyphr or an A-DAMN? Why those two in particular?

I mean, a LOT of parts are going to come down to personal preference. You're not giving much information about what you're looking for, or what kind of build you want...

I guess my point was that we need to know what kind of bike you're looking to build much in the same way if you said "I have 500,000 dollars, what kind of house should I build?" wouldn't give us much to go on.

you need advice on "stickers" huh?  don't want to sound like a d*ck but flashing your money around and having too frames without any knowledge of what to do with it might rub some riders the wrong way.

To Sclflat.... Funky gave a list for me to order stuffs, he includes stickers.. I never said advice on stickers... 2nd I got these two frames as a gift, from someone who can't longer ride due to an accident. With all do respect, I don't even have $1000 dollar to spend. I am not some rich ass kid born with a silver spoon in his mouth. but because I Promised to build one up I am eating freakin noodle cups for lunch everyday to save that amount past couple of months. Anyway I ask for help because i am totally clueless of what to get and because I don't want to ask the dude who gave me the frames.
By all mean I am not flashing money around and taunt other riders, just a 30 year old trying to build a bike.
