this is on special... i'm tempted to rip the parts off my VT and chuck it on this beaut frame

nice and old skool reynolds 853

some parts on the VT are pretty worn... need new chainrings and front derailleur but otherwise brakes are new, rims are ok, fork is good... thinking of going a single on the front maybe a 34

whaddya reckon?

i've always wanted a steel hardtail

Sounds good. I like the Salsa frames so if you can get a good deal I would say go for it. One of my MTBs is steel frame and I'm actually thinking of doing something similar (ie going single on the front). I like the ride of steel compared to al (I have both). They each have their good and bad points but steel does have a different feel. You won't regret the move. Let us know how it goes if you get it. Especially if you go single up front.
