Hiya all
Have made good use of the nice weather today and finally finished building up my budget bouncer.

It's a scandium framed Salsa Caballero which should be a more pleasent rid than my old hardtail.

The frame, forks and rear shock came from fellow STW users, and the rest were hand-me-downs from my old GT hardtail.

The bike is much lighter than my Slayer SXC, so will be a good option when I'm having a lazy day and can't be bothered to lug the 6 incher up the hills.

Ha! Not a giant, it's a medium frame...
Price for all the bits was roughly £400.
oh looks mahoosive
lovely ive always liked salsa , similar to my rm element will be a flyer
That looks lovely and should be a fantastic ride.
You seriously only paid about £400 for all the bits (aside from handmedowns)? I need to surf the classifieds more often!
Very nice looking in a poised XC type stylee
Yep...
Salsa Caballero Frame £155 (2004)
Rockshox Recon 127 Forks £95 (new)
Fox Float R Shock £70 (2007)
Rotchey Logic WCS Headset £25 (new)
Aligator Rotors £25 (new)
Maxxis High Roller Tyres £35 (new)
Total = £405
All the rest is off my old Avalanche. Am well pleased with it. On first impressions it rides like my 2005 Slayer. The only doenside is the seatube is high, so lowering the seatpost much more then it is may be an issue.
