I've been looking into getting a bike that's good for light freeride, dj/ss, and trail riding. I've narrowed it down to the Kona Bass and the Specialized SX, not the sx trail the sx with the fox rp23. The 2010 kona bass is $2,299 but I would have to change out the rear hub because I want to have some gears in the back. The sx is sold as frame only with an MSRP of $1,550. I've never built up a bike before (I've only owned bikes that came complete) so it's a little overwhelming to me and it seems like I could easily spend another $1,500 on parts. I'm not looking to spend over $2,500 when all is said and done. Anyone have any input on what's the better option here?
