Re: building a bike
if you want new then ooracing but that wont be cheap mate. i would have said ebay, or the forum sponsors (shop owners) on adtrip always seem more than helpful, also adam at pitbikespares is more than reasonable

Re: building a bike
I should be getting a bike within the next couple of weeks and wont be using the frame or swinger and probably a few other things aswell your welcome to them if you cover postage and a lil bit so I can get some money back, Haven't got any pics of it yet and don't actually know what kind it is properly, Been told it looks abit like an akuma assassin

Re: building a bike
If you couldnt swap a manifold on an atc dont bother building a bike from scratch - it will cost you a fortune more than buying an existing one, and unless you get parts that WILL fit together you will have the fun of trying to get 210mm disc to work with 180mm calipers, 15mm hubs on 12mm axles, 5.5" stems in the wrong size frame, 285mm shocks on 275mm swingarms etc etc - It dosnt all just bolt up and decent bolts, spacers, bearings etc all cost money. Buy a bike standard and go from there.
