    1. Alpina crankset that comes with the bottom bracket, State bicycle cog, cheapest Izumi chain, Panaracers, generic tubes.

    2. Buy [a $425 black label frame from state](https://www.statebicycle.com/products/6061-black-label-v3-frame-set-black-mirror-copy) and spend $1290 on the parts that actually matter, you’ll end up with a significantly better bike this way.

      State black label frame – $425

      [Wabi sub 15 wheels](https://wabicycles.com/products/sub-15-superlight-700c-single-speed-wheelset) – $315

      Good tires < $150

      [Shimano 7710 complete drivetrain](https://www.tracksupermarket.com/cranks/cranks-chain-rings-bottom-brackets/shimano-7710-track-drivetrain-set.html) – $590

      Nitto stem, handlebars and seatpost ≈ $200

      Typically you’ll spend about a third of your budget on frame, third on wheels and tires, third on cockpit and drivetrain.

      Get your priorities right.
