Thank you, wheel building I can do myself, probably the most enjoyable aspect of bike maintenance.

Yeah compromises for sure but I do have a set of 24" rims I could use leftover from a jump bike build (that guess what - got upgraded...) similar to yours, and could borrow a set of hubs from my existing commuter bike. I've a spare set of Avid BB7's that would go nicely on it as well. I'm going...

Thanks, appreciate all your replies. I do like your build and it's super tempting but I may be guilty of doing what always seems to happen - set a max price in my head then let it slowly creep up as nicer parts etc appear. I may just have to stick to my budget and keep an eye out for a more...

Gone down a bit of an airnimal rabbit hole now and looking at rhinos... Do these frames come in different sizes do you know (joey or any of the others)?

Interested, steerer length?

Let me know what price you would be after for those and I'll have a think about the options.

Alternatively would you be interested in selling the frame, pace forks and wheels as a bundle rather than downgrading saddle and gearing etc?

Okay, that seems more than reasonable for the condition and parts, I'll give it some serious consideration. Whereabouts in the country are you? I'm in between Liverpool and Preston.

Yep that last one is the one I've been watching, fairly local to me as well (1hrs drive) but seller is an unknown quantity. How far am I off what you would be looking for with original fork?

Well was hoping to spend up to £600, for a nicer build I'd have to consider maybe selling a few bits to balance the books

Thanks, I do actually remember your original post from back then and thought you had done a great job. I am interested but expect you may be looking for more than I am looking spend at the moment. Pm me some pics and an approx price you would be happy with.

Tentitavely looking for an Airnimal, either a Joey or Chameleon. Flat bars and disc brakes preferred but will consider other options.

I remember there was someone who made some DH triple crowns using curtain poles, did quite well on them iirc.

Ha, love the trailkings, got a set stashed away along with some original Flatboy and Cully's. Would love to find a set of the original Atomic Industry pedals before they became Atomlab.

Love it, great build and story. What pedals are you running? Atomlabs?
