Hey guys
After realising that my bigfoot wasn't really what I wanted, I decided to upgrade the frame and see where it took me. I found an intense tazer hardtail frame here for a smallish amount of money and threw most of my bigfoot components onto it. Massive thanks go out to Adam at for the riders, who walked me through the bits I needed and wanted, and managed to save my weekend by finding a set of the reducers I needed to run my qr hub in the 12mm bolt up dropout as well as fielding my obvious newbie questions. Thanks mate!
Here's the result (click for larger image):

Unfortunately, within 5 minutes of tightening the last bolt my friend managed to crash going around an easy corner on the road. Thankfully only my fantabulous ten cent piece barends, my brand spanking dmr v8s, and a suprisingly large amount of his skin got damaged.
I don't have any planned upgrades at the moment, as I need to upgrade both my bank account and my riding skills before I can afford and utilise the new bits, respectively. If you have any suggestions feel free to let me know though.
Cheers
