Hey guys Ive just hopefully bought myself a decent SC Bullit frame for £250 (2007). I want to build it up as a project.

Anyone done anything similiar? Anyone ridden/own a Bullit? And most of all anyone got any ideas with regard to the spec I could make up to?

Cheers

Bullits are awesome dude.. a bunch I rode with used and abused them - they are pretty much indestructible

What do you want to do with it?

Thats good to hear! Do you reckon £250 was a good price for a frame thats 5yrs old?

To be honest first of all its a project to build my first bike and secondly its a bike for either downhill with a bit of XC thrown in. Ive heard they are a little heavy. I normally ride a specialised pitch pro which is great, but always wanted a SC!

Obviously depends on condition? Did you get a shock with it . They used to come with those 5 elements which when working were pretty good.

The bullit is a FR / Dh bike... it will pedal ok but will bob a bit and be fairly heavy. Stick some totems / 180 forks on the front and you have a DH weapon

Yeah its got a 5elements shock which has been serviced etc. I thought it was more DH, which is cool as my Pitch as you know is all rounder. Be good to have a choice!

Im looking for some big forks for them too, you got any ideas wheres good to get the ones you mentioned?

heres a link to the frame: http://www.flickr.com/photos/27324215@N ... otostream/

I have some beauties for sale; Marzocchi 66 sl1 ATA's airs. The proper Italian ones in black, near mint condition for £220 and will throw in a 1.5 headset and stem to get you going....

Hey there Damo,

How you doing? Looking to go for a pedal tomorrow if yr about? I would be interested in those, you got any pics etc?

Sweet - The frame looks in great condition - 250 is cheap for that for sure.

Forks to consider > 66s as damo mentioned, totems and 180 36's Fox's - do some research as they each have their pros and cons

I'm good cheers, you can pop round and have a look if you like?

Will the frame be 1.5 ?

Sounds good Damo, will it be okay to hook up at the end of the month ish?

Not sure with regard to 1.5? Its a 2005-2007 frame if that helps?

probably not a 1.5, i have the same model bike from 2007 and it has a 1 1/8 h/set. awesome bike to ride and considering its more of a dh bike, its pretty light, would recommend long travel single crowns though as has been said, really helps with the balance of the bike.

Yep that will be 1 1/8 th steerer. If you need any help drop me a line bud
