I have so much. At this point I am making a decision between buying a full mtb or buying a frame and building it up. If I buy the full mtbit wll be cheaper and I can keep both bikes mobile. If I buy the frame I would strip some parts of my current rig and build up the squishy right away leaving me with a carcus for a ht.

Tough decision but I am leaning towards buying the full rig and having both and just upgrading some key parts. 2004 Kona Stinky is the bike and I will dump that fork in a second. Other than that a few other components. Definately need new tires, another seatpost and wouldn't mind a high quality rear hub to build the dually on. I wouldn't mind the z150 but it is a little expensive so I may not be able to pull it off.

I am also going to try and dump shimano if x.7 is available up here. Currently I can only order out of town and I can't risk doing that with parts the shops in town will charge a fortune to fix.
