I want to build a bike and I have decided on picking up an xl 2009 stumpjumper pro carbon frame.... it comes with s120 forks and front derailleur. I am 6'2" 240lbs.... is this the right size frame for me? Whats wheels, gears, etc would fit this bike? I am clueless but want to build a bike because it will be more cost effective for me and I can learn the in and outs of the bike.... thanks
Newb Bike build... help please....

And it looks like here in post number 1 the op tells us what that frame is
and you and your infinite wisdom chimes in with this
And I thought I ended the argument when I made this post, but I guess I had to spell it all out for you again

^^^ And you need to go to bed because it is past your bed time! This thread is completely worthless at this point!
OP---This is a good site with people with great insight to cycling and things associated with it. Please DO NOT be discouraged by this kindergarten argument and its continued momentum. I will say it again, built the bike you want and enjoy the process and the trials that come with it! Enjoy!

wow... a lot has happened since i have been gone. everyone should play nice. i took everyones opinion into consideration and scored on a used specialized stumpjumper. It is a 2010 stumpjumper fsr pro carbon frame and rear shock, with all 2008 stumpjumper parts pro carbon parts. The bike is an xl frame and is in great condition... the previous parts i ordered for the bike build were canceled but i got stuck with a couple. building a bike like this would have cost me at least $3000 i think but i bought this one for $2000... tracking number is made and should ship out tomorrow ups ground... 
thanks again everyone

The guy is throwing in a set of maxxis 310 tires that look brand new and a bleed kit and an extra magurara front rotor for $80.... im very pleased. Ill be even more happy when the package is accepted at ups and its officially on its way. Im glad I found this deal.

Sweet, 310 is pretty awesome on the climb, but kind of useless on the way down.
takes lots of pics.Sent from my iPhone 4s using Tapatalk
