woah dude!! he said "budget" build. you're already $700+ or $1000 on the frame and fork only.
the best "budget" bike is to buy a complete. check craigslist for DK Xenia, Trek Jack, a used Specialized P1 or P2, Haro Thread, etc.
if u really are going to cheap out on this, you could get a small frame xc bike with a low top tube, (like a girl would ride), then put some decent pedals and a DJ stem on it. not recommended though.
i was looking at the azonic steelhead frame for $150.. http://www.pricepoint.com/detail/16871-175_AZOSH7-3-Parts-60-Frames/Azonic-Steelhead-Frame-2007.htm basing on BMX dirt bikes I assume its best to have the top tube and seat stay close as possible to the same angle?
then getting a craiglist bike for all the brakes, seat, headset, cranks and so on. what parts should i really put the $$$ towards? fork? wheel set? Like I said I've built from misc part bikes, but this time want to make one built to jump.
