bearings weren't loose, just siezed/notchy, knocked them out and a new set on the way form BETD for £35 posted
Forks are MXpro's, for £20, bargain tastic! Rebound wasn't stuck, just very stiff, pushed a socket and ratchet onto the end and spun it to the limits a couple of times each way and bounced up and down to check its functioning and and it now just about turns by hand. Hopefuly a quick oil change will lubricate it enough to bring it to life properly.

Thinking of going 1x9 again as a lightning fast trail bike rather than a XC race bike, anyone got a polished silver chainring? Maybe one of the O-O or surly stainless ones? In 34t?
Total build cost so far.
£130!
OK thats cheeting a bit, but appart form the headset and bearings everything so far was in the parts box (although I was going to have a clearout soon) so was paid for long long ago 😀 .
oooh. That (brand)new(secondhand) bike build feeling. It's better than christmas!
What an outstanding deal!
Make sure to post up the as-built pics.
dammit!
my seatpost is 27.2mm, I need a 26.8mm
anyone want a brand new, un-used controll tech (A1?) seatpost. The only thing differentt one one still in its box is the decals wiped off when I took it out the box (they realy were that pants!)
And the forks are actualy a metalic silver/gray, and the frames red, the pics don't totaly do it justice.
