yeh thats a good idea how much dose a new frame cost and to get some one to do a part swap?
Bike frames are kind of like cars, there isn't exactly a flat rate. Its hard to give an estimate on a part swap without knowing a frame since there are a couple variables that may or may not be able to be used on your new frame (ie.seatpost)
K for frame iam thinking of a rocky mountain RM7 or a Banshee Scream seat post dosen't matter if its bigger i have a insert. The things i mite need are chain maybe longer brake line and maybe longer rear derailleur cord thats about all i can think of i donno about the head set.
