Like you need to use commas and periods like so people can understand you like.

Get the demo 7 frame because you can make it into a 7.75inch travel bike. wich would then be good for downhill as well as freeride.

also go for the vivid if you really want it or just get a DHX 5.

dont get dee max unless you can get a super deal on them they are not worth the money.
just get mavic 823's ( same as dee max hoops ) and then get hubs of your choice I would say some hope pro II's because they are only about 300-400 for a set and are amazing.

Get a single crown 66 or Totem Solo Air or another type of totem. and get the 1.5" steer tube because the demo 7 frame is a 1.5" headtube.

As for parts I would go sram x-9 because its affordable and works great. or if you got alot of money go for the x-0 :O

brakes - budget juicy 7's or 5's if your not on a budget get the codes or the juicy carbons.

ill leave the rest up to you.

So let me get this right....you make a "my dream bike" thread, but you dont know anything about the frame you want, or the shock, fork and wheels???


I think maybe its time to use the research skills you should have learned in school and do a little digging

You just might be able to answer you own questions....

This is tricky, seeing as I am more of a DH guy...but lets try:

Frame: Demo 7
Fork: Totem coil 1.5
Shock: Vivid 5.1
Brakes: Codes
Bar: Sunline v1
Stem: Sunline v1
Headset: Chris King 1.5
Cranks: Saint
Guide: Gamut
Pedals: NRG
Derailuer: X9
Hubs: Hope Pro II
Rims: 729
Tires: Michelin 32f, 16r/or Highrollers
Seat: Not sure
Post: Thomson Elite

There are lots of places where you could shave weight, or put more on for more strength...you didn't really specify what you were looking for in a FR build.

What exactly is the point in asking what components to use if you arnt gona build it, by the time you do everything we suggest will more than likely be outdated

Sick, I would personaly take a pair of totems instead, but that's just me, don't like the feel of t/c forks.
