Thank you ajax and crandawg

The point of this thread WAS a budget build, and i at the time, needed help deciding parts, as i didnt have a job, until recently, which is the only way in HELL i could get a 400 dollar crankset, bb, etc.

The fork is needed, as ive been wanting an argyle since getting the bike.

So, unless you read the first page o two, why would you post, and im on Ajax's side. If you need help, im definitely not going to assist you on any way shape or form.

BUT back on topic.

im not too sure on the weight of the frame alone, but the average build is around 31-32 pounds


And just a note to everyone,

I am getting a new fork, because mine is actually broken now, (it locked out)

so, i will keep updated
