It's looking good for the sale of my road bike, now the next problem comes.
Do I sell my rockrider 9.1 to give me a total new bike budget of around £800
or
Keep hold of my rockrider and transfer the parts on to a new HT frame.
Bikes wise I think I've narrowed it down to a Deorse 45650B or Vitus Sentier 275 VR (MBR HT of the year no less)
Frames wise C456 evo, stanton slackline 631 or BFe are top of the list.
Drawbacks are I've only got a 120mm recon to slot into any of these frames, plus I'd need a new headset and post, probably brakes too as my tektro's are dross. Total budget would be £500ish
Drawbacks with the 45650B are it's a bit of a lump. Drawbacks of the Vitus are Possibly not slack enough for getting to gnar and the fork is a bit of an unknown quantity.
Advise/abuse please.
I would have the 45650b or Parkwood.
You know what to do. Slackline, and a few choice items off the classifieds 😀
