Thank you I am definitely looking to snap up a frame very soon as I don't think the deals are going to last forever and that is going to be the most expensive part. I'm certain I would not save that much money on a personal build over upgrading but building the bike and getting comfortable working on them is half the idea.
Nothing wrong with that. Your money, your bike, do it how you like. A "dream" bike doesn't have to be greatest most expensive bike you can think of. It can just be the coolest s*** you can afford :D
 
The Trek Fuel can run as a mullet, the suspension flip chip would need to be flipped to keep the same-ish BB height. It’s super easy to do.

Tonight I was working with the frame storage system in the Fuel Ex, Trek calls its BITS. I’m not sure what it means and I’m not going to look it up.
I know there are a few brands with their own in frame storage systems. I’m assuming they are all great.

if the OP hasn’t picked a frame yet, may I suggest a frame with internal storage. Its really a must have!

If they would cut the Gen 5 frameset cost I would do it in a heart beat, but the more capable Gen 6 is really pushing the limit and the Top Fuel frameset is not much better.
