…. for £3k!!!

I have thought long and hard about what bike I wanted, and knew from the off that I had roughly this amount to play with, just wasn’t sure if I wanted a HT or full suss, but have decided that as I already have a Giant Trance X 0 (2008) I’ll stick with that and build a dream HT with my money. The only proviso is that all parts must be bought at full RRP as I am getting the bike on cyclescheme. I am looking at either a steel or Ti frame (Ti would mean budgeting on the components a little) with up to 120mm travel. Anyone help me out with this dream bike?

burly, sensible or light?

and if I give you some cash, can you get me a new wheelset, formula r1s and reba team maxles as “safety accessories” for your dream hardtail?

Sensible trail build…. 15qr or 20mm bolt through forks

Try a ti456 full XTR with revelations on offer today till midnight for £2.5k – doesn’t get much better than that.

+ get a free Scandal 16″ anodised frame.

And give that to me free as commission :o)

what rob2 said.

Can’t get that on a cycle to work scheme…. as much as I would love to!

OK…. here’s what I’m looking at at the mo….

Cove Handjob
All XT gearing
XT crankset + cassette
Hope Pro 2 on DT 5.1 rims
Reba Team 120 Maxle light fork
Hope Tech V2 brakes (floating rotor/braided hoses) 185mm
Hope headset
Hope stem
Easton Monkeylite bars
ODI lock ons
XT pedals
Thomson Elite seatpost
Fizik Gobi saddle
SRAM PC991 chain
Bontrager Jones ACX 2.2 tyres

Total cost £2967!!! I thought I’d get better than that…. like UST wheels

That is amazingly expensive for a steel HT!

Whyte 19 Ti – 2999
Commencal Titane – Revs Maxle, SLX, Hoops 4.2, Thomson etc… Should be able to get that under £3k
