Well as much as i love my spec. enduro there are those days when i miss my ht 29er. and i happened to come across a deal on a '07 felt nine elite frame with a manitou minute 29 absolute fork,starter set of wtb wheels and a few misc. parts that i couldn't pass up so let the project begin.

Saweet!!!

Unless i come across a deal on a 3 speed crank i am planning on running 1x9

Kewl!
I just finished my SS today with a ghet-to tensioner! I'll post pics soon.
I'm keeping my shifter, derailleur and cassette on the side just in case though!
Can't wait to get a j-o-b again so maybe I can try this 29'er phenomenon...

I rode my s.s. felt 29er for a while and was really happy with how it did especially when i was passing my friends on there geared bikes climbing and i even considered running this s.s. but the only problem is i want to have a back up bikes for friends if they want to go for a ride-but definitely love my f.s. on the descents

Btw if you change your mind i need a cassette,rear der. and shifter haha

I have an extra cassette you can have fer free!

Sure now you tell me haha i appreciate the offer and if i don't end up picking up the other one for some reason i will let you know.

btw do you have any other parts you are selling ? looking for a set of cranks,25.4 bars, and a set of brakes

I'm a little bit jealous: building up bikes is great fun. Whether it's a "parts bike" or a designed build, there's a mad scientist/erector set aspect to it that's fun as you do it and lasts as the bike performs over time. It's even better when you've got a good platform like that frame. Cool stuff!

Almost there! Gotta post some updated pics. The Felt is looking nice!

Here you go and thanks again for all your help and lito as well this project is coming along a lot faster than i expected.

Well finished it up last night and hopefully will be making it's maiden voyage tomorrow, here are a few pictures-the only thing i want to do later is cut down the rear brake line a little (if someone has a hayes bleed kit lmk)
