Just finished a budget build for the missus, frame and Mavic 238 wheels came from eBay, rest of the bits bought, scavenged and purchased from some very helpful members on here.

Re:

Its funny to hear you call it a budget build. Which it is of course. I bought one of these new in 96 or 97. I was 22 and apart from my car was the most expensive i had bought to date costing if i remember correctly about 800 or 1000. And twice as much as my first mtb which was a 93 kona hahana. Both bikes were incredible.
Strange how our perception of cost and value has changed over the decades.
 
Yeah I see where you're coming from, the frame and wheels cost £50 and the rest just came together really. I find it odd that this frame, as well as my '95 Sex One were neglected and left to rot, at what point in time did whoever owened them forget or stop caring how much they cost and how good they were? I imagine a lot of bikes on here have similar stories.

Still, their loss is our gain.
