Hi, firstly I'm not sure if I'm in the wrong forum, so apologies to the Mods if so!
Great site by the way..
Haven't done much riding in the last few years, but recently did a bit of light forest riding...hooked again..
Now, I would love to have a project! Not so much for hard riding, more of a show bike for pootling to work, round town etc.
I'm no expert on MTB models etc, just enjoyed the riding, so bare with me if I ask daft questions!
I do like the look of the downhill bikes, also the fat framed MTB's..would like to strip it down, repaint, restore etc.
How would you advise I go about it? Pros and cons ?
Ebay I guess is a good start? Which models would you recommend etc?
I would like reasonable quality, daft not to right?
Build from a frame or get a complete bike and restore?
Sorry for the repetitive questions!
And also, budget isn't sky high but I do know that you get what you pay for!
Thanks in advance!
