9 speed equipment and 26" forks

[MarinMartin]

I appear to have accidentally bought another frame :facepalm: . A modern this time to relive the days when 26" wheels and 3x9 was unimaginable and owning the likes of a voodoo hoodoo was quite frankly a dream come true.

So I've bought a pinnacle frame off a friend to help him out. Originally it would have been epic 30 speed etc but finances allow only a cheaper alternative so looking for any 3x9 bits to build it up and hopefully go back to the days where I couldn't believe my luck at getting a carrera with hydraulic brakes.

I need anything 27 speed (3x9), from crankset to shifters and derailleurs (the seatpost is 31.6 apparently so I'm guessing 34.9 for front mech) and if anyone does have any forks cheap (even Suntour if it's cheap enough) they would be greatly appreciated. I've got about £100 saved from selling my hybrid so hoping that will get me a fair way to getting this built at least.

Re:

It's a modern disc only frame so v brakes will be no use unfortunately. If I'm honest I'm hoping to find slightly cheaper stuff (even if it's just alivio/altus) as seen some shifters / rear derailleurs on ebay for around £15 but was wondering if anyone had any whole groupsets that I could just get all at once.

thanks though.

Re:

I can probably bundle most / a lot of the bits you need, not forks for sure, but if you pm me a list I will reply with the selection i have.

Re:

I have loads of bits from a bike shop bargain bucket, happy to let you have cheap but be prepared to do some work. I am pretty sure I have a Deore 9 speed shifter, an X5 rear mech, or the parts to make one anyway. Possibly cranks you can use too, don’t think I have disc brakes at the mo.

Re:

Actually do you need wheels? I have a cheap set of disc wheels but postage will add to the cost, also have Deore front mech and shifter too, for some reason I thought it said 1x9

Re:

I could do you a Deore set cheap, cheap. Crankset, shifters, derailleurs etc. They are not pretty but they will be cheap. PM me for pictures.
