At having received a request for a disc brake bike with front suspension I had a quick search in the Bike shed and came up with the following bikes, non of which really suit the request but by combining certain parts my come up with a candidate bike.
 |
| Claud Butler Rock - 7005 - 20" frame |
 |
| GT Aggression - 6061 alloy - 20" frame |
 |
| Rock Hopper Pro - 19" frame |
 |
| Cross Sprinter 17 inch |
The latter Cross has the best condition wheels and tyres - hardly used - Both spindles have solid axles indicating cost cutting compromises. The rest of the bike is in poor condition. The Front wheel on the CB could take V brakes. The specialized is the most convincing frame but the CB has the better forks. There's no prizes for guessing where the better components are but if you needed to build a convincing bike out of these scrap heap parts, which would you choose?
