Bikes: Faith 2, Completeley custom Kona Scrap (1600 worth)

upgrade or new bike

I bought an 05 kona scrap and put deore derailers, a juicy seven up front, a rockshox pike up front with a new front wheel (not sure what but it was $150). I got the xl frame. At the time I wanted something I could jump, a little downhill and xc with (all purpose). The xl had a slightly less aggressive tubing (so I figured it would pedal easier on xc). I am 6 foot 1 and 165 pounds.

Now, I want something purely for urban freeride, dirt jump and a little northshore style riding (rough and no xc). I realised I stoped doing the xc and commute thing (from boredom, and myfriend bought a big hit and everything since has been really aggresive). I also have an upgraded faith 2 so true downhill is covered. Sometimes its nice to agressively ride a hard tail (easier for technical stuff and teaching smooth landings, as well as finess).

Should I get a new frame, another juicy seven, and new shifters, or should I sell this and buy a complete new bike?

I await your guidance.
