True. I think I convinced a friend not to buy a used Patrol frame & shock today. It was up against waiting another 18 months to get a 40th birthday new complete.
I love the process of building second hand parts into a great bike, but in his case all it took was asking him to consider the theoretical budget of the new bike vs this frame + shock & pivot service, new wheels, fork and no frame warranty...
