Let's offroad / mountain bike / mtb / ride dirt

I would highly recommend buying the frame secondhand, something by
Cotic or Stanton or Genesis or similar, some second hand wheels with
Hope hubs, secondhand Shimano 10spd groupset with new 42t cassette and
chain obviously, then some new Magura brakes, a dropper, and a fork.
All in all for £1k you can build a banging bike that will ride a lot
nicer than a needlessly expensive Santa Cruz.

Haha, that's exactly what I've done recently apart from brakes - I went for Shimano ones. Couldn't be more happy!
