Can anyone suggest an inexpensive source for decent-

I've found so far is expensive stuff that's obviously
aimed at people who want to upgrade their bikes -- exotic
materials, ultra-low weight aerodynamic designs, etc. I'm
just looking for standardized parts that I can trust not
to fall apart under normal use. I've tried to find donor
bikes locally, but haven't found anything suitable. Any
suggestions would appreciated.

bikepartsusa.combikepartsusa.comOpen ↗ lists most everything you'll
find at a local bike shop, from bottom-feeder Altus stuff to
Dura-Ace. Most conventional accessories, too.

There are lots of places to find good parts that cost
little or no money. If you don't mind starting out your
building with used parts, that is. Once you build one or
two, and decide what it is you want, what you want to
change and where you want to go with your design, then
maybe go for new stuff.

1. Your local dump. Always bikes to be had if you're
allowed to remove them as scrap.
2. Place an add volunteering to remove "those old bikes
that you've been meaning to throw away, but just haven't
had the chance to".
3. Salvation Army/Thrift stores.

Once people in your area find out you take old bikes, it
won't be hard to end up with so many, you'll start looking
for ways to get rid of some 🙂
