Hi all Looking to purchase a Cotic Soul 27.5 frame in medium and am looking for a donor bike to strip down and transfer the parts over to the soul. My aim is for a 120 - 130 fork. 1 x 11 set up Or 1 x 10 with a one up chain ring and extender. Good brakes And a reverb. Come across this bike on halfords and would just like your input of compatibility with regards of swapping everything straight over to the soul.Specs: Approximate Weight (KG): 11.8kg Brake Type: Hydraulic Disc Brakes Exact Frame Size: Forks: RockShox Revelation RL Solo Air with Lockout - Tapered - 15mm Maxle Frame Material: Alloy Front Brake: SRAM Guide RS Hydraulic Disc Brake - 180mm Rotor Gender: Unisex Geometry: MTB Hardtail - 27.5" Number of Gears: 11 Rear Brake: SRAM Guide RS Hydraulic Disc Brake - 160mm Rotor Wheel Size: 27.5" Detailed Specs Alloy Rims: Yes Bottom Bracket: SRAM PF30 Cassette: SRAM XG1180 - 11 Speed - 10-42t Chain: SRAM X1 Chainset: SRAM X1 PF30 - 30t - 170mm(S) 175mm(M,L,XL) Fork Lock-out: Fork travel: 130mm Forks - Adjustable damping: Frame: 7005 Triple Butted Alloy with Smooth Welds Frame Colour: Front Hub: 15mm Thru Axle - 28 Hole Front Mech: Gear Shifters: SRAM X1 - 1x11 Trigger Grips: 13 MS - Lock-On Handlebars: 13 MS 680mm(S) 720mm(M,L,XL) - 31.8 - 10mm Rise Headset: FSA Orbit C-40 ACB/Industrial 1-1/2" to 1-1/8" Tapered - Integrated Hubs: Front: 15mm Thru Axle - 28 Hole, Rear: 9mm QR XD Driver- 32 Hole Pedals: Wellgo Alloy/Steel - 9/16" Quick Release Front Wheel: Quick Release Rear Wheel: Rear Hub: 9mm QR XD Driver- 32 Hole Rear Mech: SRAM X1 - 11 Speed - Medium Cage Rear Shock: Rear wheel travel: Rims: 13 MS Alloy Deep Section Double Wall - 28/32 Hole Saddle: 13 MS - Steel Rails Seatpost: 13 MS Alloy - 31.6mm - 350mm with offset Stem: 13 MS 70mm(S,M) 90mm(L,XL) - 31.8 with +/-7 degree rise Suspension: Front Suspension Type: Mountain Bikes Tyre Size: 27.5" x 2.25" Tyres: WTB Trail Boss Race Folding I could get a further 17% off with British cycling membership and my defence discount vouchers which would bring it down to approx £1100. Plus Cotic soul frame £400 (paint defect) Sell frame and seat post approx £150 - £200 and buy reverb with the money. Total of £1500 Would love your thoughts on this project as it would be my first build and welcome any constructive criticism.

Would Canyon not be the best bang for the buck? Plus someone will surely buy the frame? Whereas the Halfrauds frame might not be an easy sell?
