    Get the frame, save up, and wait til winter when everything is cheaper and buy it all.

    Sometimes it overheats. You have to make sure it's in a ventilated place all the time.

    So you suggest he builds up a big hit with the remaining œ150?

    No, not all of the bike for œ150.
    Just what should i spend that œ150 on, if anything?

    I Do want to be riding by the summer holidays, sometime in them would be nice as well.
    I should be in a bit more money in a couple of weeks also. Maybe another œ100-œ150, prehaps a bit more.

    I've tried selling my bike at the minute, but timewasters on ebay ment i never acctually sold it.
    Shall put it up again at some point, maybe tonight, œ50, for a 04, Saracen Dirttrax, what im aiming for anyway.

    So what order to buy then?
    Frame,
    Forks?
    Wheels?
    Crankset?

    Am on MSN, you don't appear to be.
    For the sracen in my sig, I highly doubt i'll get more seperatly.

    I'll get left with a frame, probably some cranks and some bars/stem combo.
    So if i sell it all together, i get rid of it all?

    Buy a metro, keep the œ25 left over for petrol money, I did recently. It's FTW.

    I'm 15.
    Should i;
    Go for a 2007, Specialized Bighit 07 for œ250, then buy some other forks?
    OR
    Go for a Cannondale Gemini with Manitou Breakouts for œ300 i think it was. (Can't remember)

    Also, would i be able to keep Mavic 321's LAced onto DMR Revolvers for a bit, with DH?

    I'll have to change the rear hub acctually, Its Single Speed.
    I'll just get a new wheel, acctually.

    EDIT: why the gemini over the Bighit?

    How come you can get the BIg Hit frame for so cheap?

    My mate started building up a bike, and he went over budget by loads because he didnt take into account all the gearing and all the little bits.
