I'm building my own full suspension 29er BBSHD build and wondering if it might be cheaper to buy a donor bike than buying individual components? I'm looking for bike suggestions to get me 70% Of the way.
Typical list is
1. Front (straight tube that will fit 44mm ID) and rear shocks (165mm length).
2. 29 Rim and Tire set, 2.1 in max width
3. Hydraulic Disc brakes and rotors. Preferably 180mm rotors.
4. Headset, handlebar assembly
5. Seatpost-31.6 mm
I'll be reusing my IGH and BBSHD from my current bike.
I'm not sure what the right answer is - go donor bike or buy components.
Total Budget for all components is $1000 or so.
Look forward to suggestions.
Thanks
