I got this 2013 Raleigh RXC frame set on Facebook marketplace from a guy trying to clear up storage for only $125. So I built it up with AliExpress, marketplace, and odds and ends from my parts bin and I have an awesome super quick bike for less than $350.
I did repaint the frame (it originally had some paint chips but nothing down to the carbon). I used the Rustoleum color shift and 2k clear. I kept the fork black cause it just looks better imo and I could still get a mirror reflection with the 2k.
Upgrading the cantis to kool stop ASAP though. The stock pads on the cheap Shimano cantis I bought just aren’t strong enough for me. Any other upgrades I should consider?
