Hi all, I’ve been procrastinating for weeks and i need a bit of advice. I want to build a hardtail. A new pump track has been built near me and there are some ok dirt jumps near by, just something to mess around on, manual, jump a little , go to the pump track a little. I’d also like it as a spare bike for guests , so that rules out single speed dirt bikes or 8 speed dirt orientated ‘do it all’ bikes.
I have some 650b parts spare (forks, tyre etc) so the plan was to build something from those, cheaply, as if i use the bike twice a week i’ll be surprised.
Commencal have their sale on and have seen an El Camino 650b frame for 150 euros. I know its the bottom of the range frame, but it sounds like it’ll be capable, although 68 degree head tube angle puts me off a little….?
or do i just slack it all off and get a 2nd hand 26 inch bike?
please tell me what to do…. 🙂
