ok so i'm new...well just getting back into racing XC again. i'm 16, on a budget, and ride a hardrock pro. Its a very heavy bike and it has much to heavy duty parts that are not needed for XC. so i've been wanting to build up an urban assult bike and keep my hardrock for racing XC. now i've decided that since my hardrock is built more like an urban bike than a XC bike that i'll use my hardrock for urban assult and build up an XC bike.
Well, i have a marin frame hanging in my garage and i'm thinking of building it up for XC. it weighs 6pounds and is steal. I'm going to build it up with some nice wheels and a nice fork...hopefully a sid. some xt parts and then eventually i'm upgrade the frame. What would you guys say about this idea. would i just be better off on my hardrock? oh and this isn't a disk frame so i would put xtr rim brakes on it till i got a better frame. would this be a waste of time and money or should i do it?
