If I were to get frame only and scour the Internet for "deals" would it be a lot cheaper than buying a prebuilt one? One caveat is I can't wrench. Some of the work would need to be done by my lbs. actually most lol.
Lots of LBS's are having deals on Bronson pre-built bikes right now, at least my SC shop is for about $1100 off XO1 Bronsons. ($5600 instead of $6700). I chose to go frame only and build from there since I have extra parts lying around, friend is helping me with build and wanted specific parts that weren't offered with various pre-built kits.If I were to get frame only and scour the Internet for "deals" would it be a lot cheaper than buying a prebuilt one?

I'd pull the trigger on that.a lbs is offering me 23% off prebuilt if i pay cash or 20% with cc
Ditto this if the pre-built kit works for you and have your size on sale. Always nice to roll bike out the door and have LBS support as needed. Most shops do discount on parts too when buyingI'd pull the trigger on that.
I have a 2013 Fox 34 150mm and either I'm lucky enough to have a good one, or I'm not good enough to know the difference... But my fork works just fine. Don't believe everything you read on here, to most people it doesn't make an ounce of difference.Hehe I know! But he got it last year in May with a 2013 fox and I wanted to stay away from the 2013 problem fox. Plus since I can't really wrench it would be nice to have a warranty that I can just take it in. Tough call!
Thats a good discount, It will be hard to beat with custom build at the same level. If you plan on letting LBS build your bike from parts, this looks like a better deal.a lbs is offering me 23% off prebuilt if i pay cash or 20% with cc
