Okay, here is the situation:

I just bought a Block 8 journeyman frame yeterday, and am looking to make the "ultimate budget build" to show all these riders out there that you dont need deity parts, and argyles (not saying these parts arnt good) to have a good, fun bike. I am trying to stick to a 600-850 doller budget, and NEED to know what you guys have in mind for parts. I am looking for parts that can be available without the use of master cards and Visas, so no online shopping. So far, i have 3 things for it, the bars, grips, and seat clamp. Here are the parts I need:

Fork: (100-250 dollers MAX CAD)
Wheels: (100-250 MAX CAD)
Stem: Husslefelt
Brake: BB5
Headset: FSA pig
Cranks: (BMX no more then 100 CAD)
BB: (spanish 68/73mm BB external)
Seat post: FSA 2720
Seat: (BMX seat, no more then 40 CAD)
Pedals: Block 8
Bars: Truvativ Husslfelt (already have)
Grips: Have
Tires: (thinking Kenda small block 8, unsure on price)
Chain: Half link


Please help me out... i need to do this as a budget build, as said, so no 500 doller forks, and 400 doller wheels sets!

Thanks to everyone, and here is the frame:

fork, i hate the zocchi djs but there cheap, a better choice i think would be a used Sherman or even a lowered Nixon if you don't do too many flat landings. wheels i would go with azonic outlaws, super strong and right in your price range

I love my 07 dj's they feel amazing once u take one spring out! and adjust the air preload properly. my buddy had pikes and blew them to crap over a season, and another friend broke the arch on a gold label and they didn't warranty it.

why not get some K-rads for the time being,free up a fair bit of money for the fork or what ever.

I'd say

second hand sherman jumper, newer DJ 2
wheels s-types

get a pivotal set up.

hone crankset


fork 150-300
k rads 60 for a pair maybe less
stypes-150-250
70 pivotal set up
hones 80-150
chain just get a big 8spd chain

Cranks: (BMX no more then 100 CAD)used profiles$50
