Over to you lot, how would you build your stable?
**** me you must be bored
I was bored whilst waiting to go out, but I thought I'd kill the 10 minutes whilst I was waiting posting up what is a real dilemma for me.
None of the bits are hypothetical, I have them all, two bikes are currently built, I thought it may be an opportunity to find out if my current thinking was what most would do.
I could keep to two, or make three, or sell the third, or keep the bits in the shed/loft where they currently reside.
**** it, off to listen to music & drink more beer, as I can't be arsed now.
Is there anything in there that'll really suit the stiffee? You could run it with the revs but, maybe not the ideal combo. High value frame that if it's in good nick...
What's the pipedream built for, fork wise? If this was me I guess I'd build it up with the best and most suited parts and either sell the rest or throw something else together.
Is it the old burner or the newer one?
[u]All[/u] of it is old kit, I don't seem to get on with long travel bikes, I purposely bought the Burner (new this year!) to replace to Azonic as I felt it was a bit small for me.
My thinking was to build the Burner as my main bike, SS the pipedream, make a 4X type bike out of the Azonic & hang the stiffee (original round tube) on the wall!
Considering the worth of the Azonic, & the very little use it would get I was thinking of just selling it on ebay, but wasn't sure 🙁
