Cheers,

got Maxmax frame, forks, post, headset and cranks he can have for £100 posted.
only used 3 - 4 times and in spot on condition.
could easily get a nice set of forks and wheesl with £350.
mail in profile if interested or want piccies

Forgot, also have the bars and stem as well.
probably what he said, or the new ones complete are about £230 on merlin.
or..............
custom built trailstar with bits on ebay (buy one that looks mostly ok for penuts and spend the change doing it up)
or.............
theres a couple of azonic stelheads on SDH ging for £200 and £325 IIRC.
I've been dreaming through my next build for when i'm all fixed. Thinking round tubed, lightweight, and old skool style frame, maybe a atomlab, and 2004 marzocchi Z1's which will get some internal tinkering (X-firm spring, heavy damping oil, cut to make a big -ve spring and short + ve) to reduce the travel to about 40-50mm, Bulb hubs, D721CD rims, new saint cranks, 32-15 single speed, mmmmmmmmmmm
