yea they were trying to give me a cheaper frame with different cranks and a single speed but i talked them into getting the rampage so i could run my derailleur
sick yeah man Dave over at the shop is building up the same frame, its freaking sick, he works there so all top of the line parts, its going to be sick
not really sure. i first bought an 09 norco ryde and then bought wheels, fork, bars, stem, brake, derailleur, and pedals. all that was probably around 650 ish and then i got the frame for free so i just switched all the parts over. This is probably the nicest feeling hard tail ive ridden. its nice and low with a super short chain stay, but you have to make sure not to buy a bigger tire than a 2.3 for the rear because theres not much clearance
