Seems a real bargain too me,Can you build me one for that price in a small please.

[pdc]

i kid you not 445 is the price, i used singletrack been a member on there for 2 years or so,
i used to have a spesh fsr,then a santa cruz blur, now this,
any one on here near york?

as for time, it took 2 months to find the right bits,iv built all my bikes up from classifieds,beats buying new if your on a budget!

having built up my Ti hardtail from ebay, STW and sales etc for alot less than the frame alone should have cost, (full bike probably around £3k, that reminds me I need to email Steve!) I can well believe that figure
There are some bargains around if your prepared to wait and scour everywhere for them and occasionaly drop lucky on an ebay auction that ends at a silly time when no-one is around to bid

Nice bike mate, and an absolute bargain, I still prefer the look of the 07's

I'd love to see the breakdown then. Yes, still sceptical! ;-)

Let's say...

£150 frame.
£100 wheels.
£100 forks.

That's already £350, and people would have to be mental to sell those bits for that price.

If you did it, want a job?
