Does anyone do entry level FS as frame only? Would like to use all the bits from the HT as I don't really have space/money for another bike.
Is second hand a better option? Have had a look on ebay etc but don't really know what things are worth!
Thanks for any help.
How much do you want to spend and what travel are your forks?
I'll have an original Specialized SX one day, I had one but it was stolen the night before its maiden ride was due. At the moment Dartmoor might be worth your looking.
Less than £400 and 100mm, are either of those a problem do you think?
Keep an eye on the classifieds. I picked up a hardly used 08 Scalpel for just over £300
£400 should be plenty S/H

Real bargains do come up on the classifieds every now and again.
I was selling an as new turner burner for that sort of money a while back and that was a £1500 frame new, keep an eye out and you may get lucky, patience is the key. Or buy a well used frame for peanuts, either way bargains can be had.
Cheers.
