I really wanted a full sus instead of a hard tail and seeing as the company I work for has stopped their c2w scheme I decided to build a bike on a budget.
Originally I was only looking at hardtails as full sus frames were going to cost too much. So with a budget of around £500 to stick to I set about searching for a frame or donor bike.
A quick search of bikeradar forums threw up this spesh fsr xc frame at a good price.... So it was bought.
Rock shox psylo SL with adjustable 80-125mm travel was purchased, an old fork I know (2004 iirc) but for the peanuts price I paid I'm not too fussed.
Also purchased a couple of other bits which are as follows:-
Brand new x-fusion 190x50mm rear shock. I wanted a fox but got this at half the price of a 2nd hand fox shock.
Ritchey OCR rear wheel which needs some slight attention but again bargain price.
Current spend is £190 & I will post some more photos when new parts arrive.
