    Can one of my parts be "Pull an old bike out of a skip"? Very easy to build a very effective mountain bike for under £100 if you start from that :lol:

    another thing you guys are forgetting is that the average person who buys a B.S.O isn't gonna have the time or knowledge of putting a bike together. So you're gonna have to factor in labour costs too?

    labour costs could be another thread, when the spec list starts to look good ill be first to build it.

    Cables you can get satisfactory quality (to match this budget in other words) from Wilkinsons supermarkets very very cheap (complete rear brake with outer and both end options is, for example, just £1.04!)

    Frame looks nice for the price, any idea of weight?

    For a more budget build, how about these forks?

    Add any of the forks above and you still come in under £300......and have some to sell better than the average zoom/suntour cheapies!
