Need advice on a hardtail build
So I have a spare fork, mechanical Bb7’s, and a 1x12 sram nx group set. Looking to buy a used frame and build up a hardtail for both touring and trail riding.
I’ve always wanted a SC Chameleon (longtime Bronson rider) but I’m starting to think I can get pretty much he same frame for cheaper if buying a different brand. Buying used doesn’t net you the lifetime warranty on SC bikes either.
I know Salsa sells some hardtail frames, and would probably be a good bet for touring. Does anyone have any recommendations or experience riding a variety of hardtails? I’d love to know what you think!
thanks
