Jamis frame maybe? Great deal.

 

[jacksonpt]

I was going to suggest that too, but it's not SPV.

Ah damn, I missed that. Maybe PUSH the shock and he'd be happy?

Perhaps if you asked nicely someone would be willing to pick it up and ship it for you.

Too bad he doesn't dig the MKIII, I will be ordering one in the next few weeks. Man that bike is sweet!

yeah that might work. Anybody from Ontario CA?

 

[MMcG]

I have new information, he is willing with my help to build a bike from scratch!!

He does want NEW or OEM parts.

So we have a 1500 budget and he really wants an SPV shock and disc brakes, any suggestions?

What about one of the Sette frames from Pricepoint.com??

The XC version is something like $499 isn't it - with a swinger shock I believe. Looks like a decent 4 bar fs design to me.

Or what about looking at Wheelworld where I think Rob and Beth got their konas - they usually have good deals on frames.

Till I build something up it will be cheaper to buy a complete.
Wheel World has some good deals I'm checking out now.
THanks for the heads up!

Wow that Wheelworld site has some great deals. Thing is they don't have the bike in the size I need. F'ing crap!!!

some people have had very good experiences buying from them, some have had really lousy ones. Do some searching on here... there have been threads.

How about a Specialized FSRxc Comp. Full suspension, mechanical discs, no tubeless though. All for $1500 new.

Sierra Trading Post has a number of full sus bikes on sale. Dunno if they're any good or not.

thanks man I looked thru their stuff.

I like scott bikes but none of the bikes they have there quite fit what I'm looking for.

Thanks for the help though.

I hate that frame design. That Mars fork on the one bike is like 3yrs old.

What does everybody know about Norco frames?

 

[MMcG]

Mars fork?

Skarebs or Axels on em.

you may hate the design but the bike is for your friend, not you. right?

Yeah but it seems a little old.

I'll find him something, it just might take some time.
