No I just happen to own all the same parts almost to a tee...I would never pay for a complete bike, I can generally get the parts cheaper (I also have enough parts laying around to build most of another bike all the time) and I like building them, this will be my 7th bike to build, I will be left with 2/3's of an old 2002 bighit that I plan to build so my buds have something to ride when they visit.

Oh I see. Ive never built a bike before, so I figure it could help me learn. Of course then Im going to need a nice park tool set and a torque wrench.

For my bday this year, Im thinking of getting a new frame and I was definetley looking into the TorP. Would it be easy to transfer all my parts from my hardrock onto it? The hardrock has many upgrades (fork, bars, stem, wheels , tires, pedals etc.) but im not sure if it will all fit onto the TorP.

I don't think the seatpost would fit...but otherwise 90% of the parts would transfer over. Fork "may" be an issue if the steerer is cut to short.

Cool pedals but I like the scratch on your crank arm more

About the Color figth going on up there. I like the Black Dirtbag that Mike Metzger was riding in the video I have. (He's Just A Little Bit Crazy. I always watch that video before I am about to go out and do some jumps)

And P1 (Or I guess Arboc!) how do you change your account name?
