    International wire transfer of money

    err..no,i couldnt find it anywhere else.it is a reference board,specifically made for the purpose so the only option is to buy from such distributors.and being an evaluation module,its needed to work as intended,so no cheap rip offs from DX or the like. Embedded market-it is a bit of a...

    great!so you did do your homework. Trek parts are available at all firefox stations and i feel a tad too expensive,mainly because they are branded "TREK".you can contact other well established bike shops,and almost all components on a "TREK" are compatible with any other brand parts. Simply...

    yes,but,you'll have to do extensive study on whats compatible,maybe do a bit of mods for it to fit well,and still be unsure.The costs will be as much as a decent cycle itself.dont trust these so called disk brake setups.even half decent ones start from over 7k.so,if you do find disks on a cheap...
