mountain bikers are never innocent!! by the way -- are trek bikes still
pretty good at the under 500 dollar range? I have an old trek I just
rebuilt and its been working really well but being it's pretty old I was
thinking of replacing it. Don't really know whetehr I want another
off-the-shelf bike like a trek. really want a custom frame. I'd just swap
all the
components off the trek since they are in great shape. however having a
hard time finding custom under 500.

I have no idea you will probably be best to start a new post for this .

It might also make sense to check which group this is posted to, if
you are getting into such specifics for a bicycle purchase.

Just because Mikie has no control over which groups he posts to, does
not mean that you need to follow suit.

With custom frames, there is no way they are going to cost below a
certain price for a frame; it is not cost effective to do custom
one-off work at a mass-produced price point.

Happy trails,
