Now I can buy this full suspension frame for $300 plus like 50 for shipping, including the carbon swing arm and rear smart shock.

Do you guys think this is worth it when I can get the entire thing for about $700-800, keeping in mind I would have to buy everything else for the frame only?

Thanks a bunch.

Generally buying a complete bike works out cheaper, but only if you are happy with the components specified. If you're going to want to upgrade or replace the stock components buying a frame and the bits separately might be better value. It depends :)

As Rich says,

Buying the complete bike does work out cheaper, but I think buying the frame and putting components you want onto it can be alot more satisfying.

It depends how much money you'd want to fork out :)

Yeah, I think I should just buy the bike whole and upgrade as I see fit.

Thanks,
