Finishing Kit kits

[Six13]

Considering building my own bike. So all the bits you need to ride it eg stem, bars, seat post, saddle etc, are they available as a kit?

Thanks!

Why are you looking?

The beauty of building yourself is that it gives you the freedom to select the parts specifically suited to you and to individualise the bike.

My 2 cents, if you want to go down the route of buying all the stuff as a kit (even if such a kit exists) you'd probably be just as well buying the complete built-up bike and forgetting about self-build.

Generally no. Things like stem & handlebar length are personal preference, and the seatpost needs to match the frame in terms of diameter. Manufacturers will make matching components so you can make a set, but they're not sold as a kit.

Thanks, I did see that one, doesn't give many options.

Thats what I've come to realise. Thanks!

If you are keen to build, maybe purchase an old complete bike and pull it apart first, then put it back together.

wanting a finishing "kit", and then wanting options is contradicting...
you will be able to get parts in a matching series in your determined size, but not as a kit due to the amount of options there are.
