a whole spec list is kinda time consuming. The best thing to do if you are on a budget is shop around online and get some good deals on overstock last years products. If money is an issue go withthe riot, I really like mine alot. Is the $600 going to include forks? If so maybe go with the atomlab GI60. As for wheels, azonic outlaw or transition revolution wheelset with a single speed conversion from atomlab. If you shop around you can find primo platform pedals for $25. I'm a big fan of profile cranks, but they can be pricey so look for used ones. Hope this helped.

I have the marzochi DJ3 fork and it isn't that great, but it's not really all that bad either. I mentioned the GI60 because they are cheap and I've heard some good stuff about them online , but no personal experience on my part.

jesus man, your building a custom bike and you cant even come up with your own parts spec? the whole point of making a custom bike is building it the way YOU want it, not the way people on pinkbike will tell you to!! seriously... look around and spec it the way you want it..

you can't get decent conponments for 600-700$, unless thats not including the fork. just get a .357, same frame as riot, with dj3's and some good conpoments.

good post... i havnt thought of the 357.. but it sounds like thats the bike for you. a decent wheelset costs minimum 5005, a decent work another minimum 500$... theres no way you could built a decent bike paying retail prices for 600-700$ in parts.

ya, even if he somehow was able to find all the conponments for 600$, they'd be sh*t, and cost more then the .357

would it be better to jus sell my rm flow dj frame and buy the riot frame??? or should i buy the three57??? i am very interested in the three57 but i have hered lots not so good stuff about it... like the frame is different then the riot and the mob... and i hered that black market didnt do a good job making this bike...

i hope people prove me wrong because i really like the blue and white bike.

P.S. is the 22TT the same size frame as the large 2007 rm flow dj? im only 15 and aqlready 6 foot 1 so jus wondering if i will fit?

thanks

If you have the Flow DJ complete with the 80mm DJ 2 fork and Mavic wheelset, etc. then I'd recommend selling the frame only and buying the Black Market frame. The bike is fairly nice to start with so you could go from there.

Well, is it the stock specs from 07? You must have bought it used. If you have a picture just to make sure then I could what's on it.

the frame has a slightly different headtube but other than that its the same. and your flow isn't all that bad, but peronally i'd rather just buy a .357 cuz its all new and you woudn't have to change anything

if you got the 07 flow dj just buy a new frame.
there nice componets on there and most of them will fit.
youll need a new head set though.

how much would a head set cost and does anyone know how much it would cost to get the bike shop to swop all the components and how much could i sell a 2007 rm flow dj frame thats only going to be used for 2 months at C.O.P?

thanks
