I got a small gt fully a little while ago, and am thinking of building it up for a dirt jumper/pump track bike. I wont be doing anything big I just want it for a smaller bike thats easier to flick around and to pedal. so should I try building it up or just save up for a hardtail? 2284096 2284097 2284095

IS that an eccenetric bottom bracket? I would personally build it up though you will be surprised how much it'll cost... It would just be a bit more forgiving if you make a mistake.

Thats an XC frame. It'll feel shite for jumping and a pump track. Save you money and buy a nice little hardtail rather than throw good money at this.
