haha yeah well i didnt want to spends heaps then find out i bought the wrong bike anyway!! so in regards to parts ie, forks and such are they all interchangable??

[The Maxinator]

Yes. All parts are interchangeable, but you have to watch out for steerer tube lengths bottom bracket stuff ect.

Depends on what rim/hub,ect. But usually around $300 for ody lite rim and hazard hub.
