Welcome! I built up a '75 entry level frame to ride on gravel last year. I got the frame for free.
- I had a 700c wheelset lying around to use (free)
- Gravel King tires £39 ($50)
- Sora 9 speed groupset used (crank, cassette, everything) £94 ($120)
- Finishing kit like bars,tape, cables £62 ($80)
So roughly £200 ($250).
