I'm in a pickle

but keep your current forks and brakes, it'll save you close to 175$ on the build if you are going full price

Your set on frame and wheels. Hubs change and frames dont. Buy the frame and get the wheels later

If I buy the frame I'd probably take apart my current bike and put it all on the Laird just for now honestly and sell the frame and bullshit parts as time goes on. I'm leaning heavily on getting the frame now. Empire has 15% off my order which took almost $100 off my order and it'd be like $535 for everything minus wheelset and frame of course. It saves me $100 now but i'll have those parts laying around until probably April next year

actually get the frame now, because i feel like laird is going to get super swamped with orders as he gets more popular and he is going to be backed up for months by the time you get around to ordering

Get the frame

Go for the laird frame but you have to pay it all upfront . It's not like S&M where you put half of the frames value as a deposit.

Yeah I've talked to him a couple times over email that past couple months. 1 year warranty, 3-4 week build/ship time, pay in full up front. Honestly though I trust him and his work so much that I'm not even really considering any brand frames anymore

I was using S&M as an example.

I'm a redneck man, I got that taken care of already lol

id go with shut the fuck up/if it aint broke don't fix it/ buy all the parts.

my idea for this one is get all the parts since youll get retarded deals, but don't pop em on the bike until the part needs to be replaced. its win win

#4 if there isn't anything wrong with your current bike, just keep it man!
You could either keep customizing your ride the way you like, or save up your money for a year or so and buy exactly what you want
Life lessons I have learned the hard way: Good things come to those who wait and you get what you pay for, lol

that's why itacked up the part where he buysthe parts now because of retarded deals, but doesn't usethem til he needs them

When I'm in bootcamp I make 1,500 a month at my rank plus a possible 1,000 bonus for my contract. So 3 months in boot I'll come out with a lot more than what I have now. With that being said, it's going to be a fun but really slow build until next April lol.

werd so you went with a frame?

Yeah I'll get it at the end of december and I can't ride in january hard since I'm leaving in feb and can't have any injuries obviously. So it'll pretty much sit until I get back but I have all the parts I need for it in my cart on empire.com so if my brother can access my bank while im in bootcamp I told him to buy everything so I can build it when I get home. Gonna be so sick
