You are not going to find too many decent second hand 10 speed mtb components here. or anywhere else.

 

Shop around for new components: CRC, CWC, Buycycle and others.

 

It's fun and an education building up your own bike, certainly not the cheapest way of doing it, be warned!

I did my Bulls Copperhead like that 2 weeks ago - see pic.

 

I had most of the components and shop the rest 2nd hand.

 

It still came up to about 9k just for rolling chassis.

 

I went 3 X 9 just cause I had it - going new will be pricy but if its your dream machine why not? Helga is my biatch!!! So I went low tech - HT & 3 X 9 Alli all the way.

 

That way I dont feel bad taking a crash and I dont feel sorry for her when I ride! When in doubt - go flat out.

 

Small recommendation - I have a 630mm bar and it does feel a bit small - see what suits your style and beware - you need to turn her with conviction! Dbl minded will get you in trouble.

 

Enjoy!
