I don't really get it...I think you could build your own bike for better money
if the frameset alone was £300 I think it would be worth it, after a decent repaint

That's exactly what I'd want to do and the sort of price I'd be hoping for also. Frameset swap from my hardtail MTB for a more expeditiony thing as I much prefer bikepacking, single track stuff to getting rad

Guess I'd be looking at it as an alternative to some sort of steel Salsa/Kona expeditiony hardtail type thing

yeah but I bet the frameset will be £700 or something silly, or they won't sell it separately
the days of getting a reasonably priced new frameset to build your own adventure bike stopped when surly put all their prices up a few years back

I'd be hoping for "cheaper than Genesis" prices given 725 steel. Those have gone up as well though
