I've been meaning to post a few pictures of a build from earlier in the year of an Airwolf YFM053. The total build cost was ~£2000 with forks off eBay and bars/seatpost also from Airwolf. The bike is a copy of a Specialized Epic HT in terms of geometry and has built up really nicely with some quite solid and reasonably priced components. There was one issue I had during the build in that the cable stop in the frame for the rear mech was too large-a-diameter and the cable ferrule pulled through. I had to buy one of these: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/403778549148 ... e4QAvD_BwE and grind it down slightly to fit snugly (not ideal I know). I'm not sure if it was the cables I was installing or what. The only other issue I've had is a creak from the bottom bracket, which might actually be the pedals but need to diagnose.
