While I absolutely love your willingness to buy more bikes, 2.4k on that Santa Cruz is absolutely fucking mental. I'm certainly a SC fan but the dirt jump frame seems a bit meh for seven hundred bangers.
I'd say if building a DJ bike then more fun and satisfaction could be had going the second hand route. This route would obvs take more time but if its just a bike to fuck about at pump track etc then build a retro 26" DMR trailstar or something similar for significantly less cash.
If I had five hundred odd quid burning a hole in my pocket and I wanted a DJ bike I'd spend a couple of hours on the Pinkbike classifieds.
Transition PBJ looks good spec-wise, is within a few hundred quid of the Dirt Love, and Brink have them in stock in my size.
Critical thing now is to get confirmation of my cancellation out of YT.
