well duh...
I've got the bug to switch out my voodoo canzo 29er frame and get a steel HT. I'm unsatisfied with the performance of the rear shock and the long stays have me itching for something more nimble.
I've found two rad deals on two rad bikes. One is a brand new frame that would cost me about $350 to trade out my old frame for. I'd switch over all of my old parts, which should be easy. Problem is, I'm dissatisfied with my REBA, though it works today.
The other is a used bike that's well built but rigid. I could buy that and swap some parts over. It would probably cost me less money in the end, but it would be used. The build would be better though.
So what would you do? A little more cash on a brand new frame but a used build (all XT), or a fully used bike with hope hubs, king HS, and a smattering of other parts?
