all good information, i think i'll go the route of building it myself since i dont have money at the moment to buy complete so i can then build as i get money.
for frames would i be better off buying an older used frame or a newer ss specific frame? Or just throw some options out for me to look at and ill check them out also.
The trails around here that i ride most often are loose rocks with a lot of roots and not much flats.
Thanks for the info ill keep looking around the forum to find more info.
