i bought a bike complete from tredz. however i will be looking to upgrade to a different frame for a change of colour in the new year some time.
can i just swap everything over to my new frame?!
many thanks

Completely depends on component compatibility.
Yep you can, you will have to check that the new frame can handle the same travel forks if your using front susp and also check the front mech clamp diameter is the same, but apart from that you should be ok.
What you got and what you thinking of getting?
Seat post may be a different size too.
...not to mention normal, semi or fully integrated headset, length of head tube (watch out if it is much longer on the new one and you don't have many spacers on the steerer), bottom bracket width if your cranks are isis/square taper, cable routing (might need more or different lengths of outer and inner), seat clamp size and rear brake hose/cable routing/length. Some frames have bottle bosses or shock mounts in the way so you have to have either high or low band front mechs too. It seems as though most shimano and sram ones these days take both top and bottom cable pull thankfully.
And if top tube length is different you may want a different size stem though that is a fit rather than build compatibility one...
or, since your post just says you want to change the colour. get it resprayed.
i got a 2010 rockhopper and i want a lower upper tubing...

thats the kind of thing i am wanting..
how do i go about finding info them on ensuring the parts would fit?

I'd have bought the correct bike in the first place, one with a lower upper tubing.
if you dont know what the parts are called step away from thinking you can swap stuff
You can get the tech spec for yours from the Specialised Website
Bottom Bracket:68mm x 118mm
Front mech:34.9mm clamp
Seat Post:30.9mm
Forks should be ok but you would need a new integrated headset.
You will prob have to email CRC for the spec for the Beone.
cheers for help guys
When you say 'lower upper tubing' do you mean that the top tube is too [i]high [/i]for you? (ie it interferes with your groin!?) Might be indicative of the wrong size frame altogether rather than style of frame etc? Or I might have misunderstood you?
