to get an FSR or not to get an FSR?
i currently ride a Hardrock sport disc... its pretty good handles the 4-5ft drops pretty well.. but i want to go bigger than that... i was thinking that i could get an FSr frame used off ebay or sumpin and mate my parts to it... first of all.. would this be a good idea? second of all would it work? and 3rd of all.... are there any other relatively cheap FS frames that i can mate my specialized parts to?

What kind of riding will you be doing? Do yopu ride trails or just look for drops and jumps.

If you're looking for an FSR specifically and used, look at earlier '00 models (Enduro or BigHit) that someone has modified with a BETD or MRP linkage kit. You'll have in the range of 5-6" of travel that still pedals well. Bonus if it comes with the disc conversion "sharkfin" adapter. The only thing you'll need is a new seatpost, because most of those FSR took that gawdawful oddball 30.9 post.
