14. MINES A  Huffy Blades use  bike And its worth 100,00 dollars  and I got it for 35 dollars at a thriftshop
15. What kind of nonsense is this? You spent $249 on a shock and another $20-30 for those chainrings. You could jump on eBay and find yourself a decent 26er full suspension frame with a shock for what you paid for those two items. Hell, I saw a frame with a 160mm fox fork and 160mm rear travel with a Fox RP23 shock go for $550. You could have sold that old bike for a couple hundred dollars, leaving you around $550 to work with for your base stuff. 26er wheelsets can be had for fairly cheap on CL, I often see them popping up for $100-150. And those are disc-ready, often with the rotors included.
    Front forks are the tough part. You really need to get a frame that supports a tapered fork, because that's all that's really coming out. 1 1/8" forks are getting harder and harder to find, I know because I spent a good amount of time searching for one.
    
    If you get a frame with the shock and the fork, you're left looking for wheelsets, cranks, and shifter parts. A 1x setup alleviates the difficulty of a front derailleur and two chainrings. And there's no need to cut holes.
