Hey
I was wondering what you guys would chose
I have the fox ones right now, But they are lightly scratched, also I have been offered a RM Element 50 2009 frame for 600.00 delivered and the rebas would look good.
So I can sell my fox ones and make a bit back from that.
What do you guys think

Not worried about the fork.
Can always sell on ebay for like £300.00, £250.00 for those forks 
God I am really trying to tell myself I need this bike, I think I am buying it, because the frame is so cheap.
Maybe a I should buy a quad core or something instead, or maybe some crack

No, they would go to the element 50 frame that I am thinking about bying for 600.00, and will sell the old fox ones.
I might leave the bike TBH, I dont need a bike, and I am sure I can find something else to buy for 850.00.
Money burns a hole in my pocket

Yes bought the frame, but they emailed yesterday and they said it was on ebay by accident, so they want me to have the 2009 frame instead of the 2008.
But the only reason I bought the 2008 was becuase of the colours.
But 600.00 for a 09 frame,, I have been mulling it around to just have it.

Link with contact details here.It was still there last week.Its definitley an 08 cos its red and white and has been stood on the shop floor for ages.
This store was a Bikehut standalone store then reverted to being Halfords branded,though it still runs as a standalone bike outlet.
When they rebranded they seemed to revert mainly to selling road bikes,and seem to only have a few mtbs in stock.Think it was an 18 but can`t be sure,but been sat there for a while so might be worth making a cheeky offer!

Bugger, thats a shame!
Back to the drawing board.
Might be worth putting a wanted ad on the singletrackworld forum?

TT length on the RM is 600.Would be OK for me at 6ft but might be a little long for you.
Worth trying though,might be able to run it with a shorter stem,and/or inline seatpost.
