Where are you based?
Front wheel is just a 20" disc wheel which you can pick up pretty cheap, make sure it's double walled though for obvious reasons.
One thing to not miss out on through Larry vs Harry is the damper kit

I’m on the south coast, Fareham. But was considering going to SBC cycles to get the frame set. It looks like they’re the closest dealer along with others in London.
I was considering a gearing for 32:16, the classic mountain bike ss gearing as a starting point, but could gear down from that. But I think I’ve been persuaded otherwise now.
In terms of the front wheel rim had assumed you just used the most hard core BMX rim you could find ?
There have been a couple of Bullitts come up on eBay in the last 6 month. The last one which looked like it was in need of some tlc went for £1600, you also had to go to Glasgow to get it.
I don’t need the bike until September ish so I think my budget will grow to a more realistic £2500

Thanks, that's just the kind of insight I hadn't considered. Looking at it you can pickup and xt 1 x 11 set for £299, £200 for some disc brakes. I have a number of 26 inch mountain bike rear wheels that will work and other finishing kit. other than that I just need a front wheel.
So it's going to over the £2000, but not massively so
