views on planned purchases

well first off im going to say hello again, been off this forum for a few years now...

anyway im after building my own pitbike, basicly i want to spend the bulk of my cash on the frame and engine with the wheels coming 3rd.

my 1st choice in frame is off ebay
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250777388038&ssPageNam e=STRK:MEWAX:IT

my 2st choice in engine is also off ebay
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230570029581&ssPageNam e=STRK:MEWAX:IT

also i want to know if mag wheels are good for offroad use?

would it be better buying a £600 stomp pitbike or do you think the frame and engine i chose would lead to a better bike?

thanx in advance

Re: views on planned purchases

well in my opinion i started a build and it went from good to stuck as i had spend a lot of money on it and bearley started so if i was you i would just buy a bike and slowlet upgrade it... funbikes are doing a pbc special for £499 and free delivery have a look in the other post.. you might like it..
