Thanx for your responses I have considered selling off my hardtail to help finance my build but decided to keep it for a backup bike or to maybe switch off every once in a while but thanx for the idea. Also thanx to FAT BOY for the website I really like those jamis frames I have heared alot of good things about those bikes & the price is nice too. Thanx again guys for your imput it always helps to hear a fellow MTBers opinion. Later
