Hi Guys

I have the chance to get my hands on one of these for much cheapness. http://www.evanscycles.com/products/kona/shred-200...

Now as it is it doesn't appeal to me that much as I'd get bored with it but I was toying with the idea of buying it and trying to get my hands on a cheap 2nd hand full sus frame and using these components on it, selling the Kona frame to help fund it. How would the components stack up for use on a full susser? Just for general arsing about, maybe the odd wee downhill track. Slowly...

Ideas for frames too would be handy, sub £200 2nd hand would be nice

If you want a highish spec bikes its a LOT cheaper to buy a ready built bike than to built from scratch... didnt stop me though tongue out

I just put together a shiny new bike...

Now have a 2004 Specialized Enduro frame going spare...recent shock service, just fitting new bearings Its black.. and a large... ideally needs at least 110mm fork on it... I used a 140mm... Nice light bullet proof frame... keep replacing the bearings and dont crash it and it will last longer than you do!
