also need parts to build it up


and any ideas what i should do with it

i thought
halo sas wheels
3pc crank
32t gusset front sproket

but would like downhill forks

I dont think its a GT, although it does have a GT seat clamp !

The only other bikes i can find right now with a 'x' in the title is a carrera banshee x and a haro x3 but the frames look different, unless its an older model ?? The downtube looks like a Kona Stinky but the shock mount doesnt ??

I throught that but the s arm is not right as the banshee is more square

Wtf is that ? looks pretty shady with that shock

Ya u no was onley a 10er

Get the serial number off the bottom of the bottom bracket it might throw up someting ?

Will do in a bit

erm it has got x3 on the frame but a gt seat clamp how do i find out by the numbers

It's not a gt
does it have any other marks on it anywhere?

google them !

The X3 and any serial number under the bottom bracket are pretty much the only clues. I was thinking the paint job on the top tube looked a bit oldschool Giant but can't find any old x3 with a swing arm like that. What about the front of the headtube, any signs of branding on there?
The shock looks like something of a Apollo or Carrera.

Apollo Furious x3





still working on more info

seems to run 24" wheels

Nice one ! seems to be older than 2008 as its no longer listed on the Apollo bikes website.

How about these ? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2011-Mavic-De ... 19cea1b8cf

Save up ya pennies

I'm not much of a mechanic, but I think putting downhill forks on a £10 bike is a recipe for disaster! Firstly because the front and rear suspension won't exactly be matched, but more importantly because they'll probably rip the headtube off!

Build it up as a cheap runaround by all means, but personally I wouldn't set it up as a downhill bike!

Light dh bike for like danbury

and also im going to upgraed the shock
