Im thinking of building a rigid, 29er, single speed but am a teenager and as usual I am strapped for cash. How much should I spend on the Frame, Forks and Wheels?
Im looking for steel frame etc. not fancy carbon and titanium bits
cheers

On-One jobbie would be the cheapest if buying new.

I'm currently building up an OnOne Inbred 29er (will be finished this weekend) and i reckon it's cost me around £600. Major costs were frame (£153), forks (£125), front wheel (£83) and brakes (£140)
That was pretty much all new stuff though (although i already had spare tyres, back wheel, bars, rotors and grips) so i'd suggest you may be able to do a full bike for around £400 max if you use the classifieds for decent 2nd hand stuff. All depends to what spec level you want to build it?

Ive just sold a 29er Inbred frame for just over the £110 mark second hand and I have seen carbon rigids go for £90.

As a point of reference I got a secondhand Singular Swift Frame and rigid forks for £250.
Reckon wheels would set you back in the £80-200 range depending on hubs/rims and whether you build them yourself.

if you are just "acquire" the green 29er frame and bits from him, unless it's already been traded for something else

You can get a new Haro Mary SS off Flea Bay complete for £365 inc postage full bike. Look like good value. Write ups seem good.
