Dirt Jumpers And Mountainbikers-Your Opinion Needed

[TheFlyingDingo]

Well, I have always wanted an Azonic Steelhead. My luck has been terrible with them...
Lost one by about $3...(Dont talk bout that) And the rest are about 400 miles away, with nobody to pick them up for me.

Now...
Theres one in texas, $450 Shipped.

One in tennesse (my personal favorite, but most expensive) More than $500

2 that the owners have not replied to anything I have sent them...
And one is super duper Uber cheap.

AND

I could build my own...I found a DIRT DINGO (fitting right?) For $180 Shipped.

I would need everything but:
Wheels
Cranks
Bars
Neck

Basically...thats it.

So, what do you need an opinion on? Are those prices for complete bikes, of frame only?

 

[TheFlyingDingo]

Whoops

What should i do?

Either build my own...or go complete...

Heres some pictures...Dont really want to share links.

Tennessee

2 that wont answer

Massachusets

Vegas

And the last i dont have pictures of, but its a single speed. Front suspension.

 

[TheFlyingDingo]

Whoops...Found the last one

Man...these picture suck.

I used to ride a Steel head...fun bike. Buy complete...it would cost you easily as much for a decent new set of forks as it would to drop 5 bills on a complete bike that someone is selling.

Then i would look like a bear on a tricycle or something

 

[deorman]

Depends on your circumstance, but that much of a road trip and a bike that may have "issues" could cost as much as a decent new 29er at the lbs. :|

Sweet, Are those 29" hard to pedal? I love my Mosh. Feels like a brick but it's smooth and solid.
