I'm looking at this cheap bike frame on ebay to replace my oversized rockhopper frame. this is a 6061 Aluminium 17" Frame (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=22679&item=3672426093&rd=1)

I know it's a no name brand.. but it's ok. I just want to know in terms of fitment... how will i know if the handle bar stem post will be either big enough for my shredded stem on my rockhopper or not. how to measure it? also for the crank part... will the BB in the bottom branket be a direct fit? how do i measure the fitment? the rest shouldn't be too much of a problem. these are my two main concerns.

Please advise.

The eBay sight has a link "Ask the seller a question" click there and ask for the lengths and internal diameters of the headtube and bottom bracket. I hope your fork is threaded and not shredded. BBs are not very expensive so it wouldnt matter too much if you had to buy a new one to fit.
