Not much of a freeride frame, but it works for me! I'm hoping to get an Evil frame sometime in the future.
I know this is a little bit old, but do you mind me asking what you ended up paying for everything on this bike. I am new to piecing together a bike instead of buying a pre-built bike and am just trying to get a feel for how much a good all around bike would cost me. I want something that I can take on the streets and screw around with, but also have no problems taking it into the hills when I want to. From the reviews the Titan seems to be pretty good for this.Posted these already in the HT vs FS thread... but what the hell:
eh, finally a worthy pic...
Frame was a blem frame - $100 ('06 frames are on sale now for $150)
Fork was about $250
Wheels $200
I had the rest of the parts sitting aorund from another bike, so I just switched around the parts... which is what I ususally do (see custom title).
You should be able to build up a bike similar for about $800 - $1000
Thanks for the information. I'm kind of curious though as to what kind of components you have on there. Mainly just the bigger ones like the fork, brakes, shifters, and wheels to give me an idea of prices. I don't have any parts laying around so I'll be starting fresh. I have a 2003 Specialized Hardrock, but it is the base model with fairly crappy components, and I'm wanting to get into a nicer bike sometime in the near future.
Drivetrane is Sram, except the front der. is a Shimano LX. I think the rear der. is a x9. But I've stuck with sram cassetes and chain fro awhile now.
Brakes are Shimano XT 4 pots (ebay @$120)
Wheels are Azonic outlaws - you can get them for between $200 and $250.
I've always just ridden what I had - then as I break stuff I replace it with nicer parts (if I have the $$$).
You know you really should just sell me yours
Just playing around of course. Thanks for the help. I think I am going to slowly try to collect parts as I go through this semester and attempt to build the bike over my christmas break. It should be a good learning experience. Another question that I came up with is what size frame are you riding, and about how tall are you so I can kind of gauge the size frame that I will need?
Just built this today:
this is my DNA (small) i use for DJ'ing primarily. i have ridden street and FR with it as well. the pike i am running is the Air/u-turn model where it is adjustable from 145-110mm. in terms of FR, i am not talking 3 foot curb drops, i am talking ligit 10 to 12 foot drops. i talked to Frank (FTW) and he said the bike was perfectally capable of doing such things (just no DC forks or bender stuff). for a while i also ran a fox 36 RC2 on there and it was a blast (for dj and FR). i love this bike and recommend it to you as would many other people. if you are more into FR, then look into something more like a Ridge, .243, or something a little beefy'r. good luck!
sick bike man! hows it workin for ya?My recent build:
I spent more than I planned, but it's a quick and tough street bike that's great for beating around downtown Phoenix and rolling to and from the bar.
Thanks again for the frame BD!
