There have been a lot of similar builds, where guys tear down and rebuild the whole thing basicly changing everything and posting pics. Definately a cool build, good luck with it.

I am currently in the process of looking for a cheap 400EX frame to build into a hybrid. I would also like to see some builds.

might be hard if its ur first time worken on a 400ex. but if not go for it. and for a cheap 400 to build a hybrid u better off going for a 250r with an aftermarket frame because it has a better geometry. its going to be cheaper just to buy a built one

I agree on the frame, if I could find a 250r frame, I would jump on the deal! I already have an engine and most componets for a build.

maxamillion, sounds like a good deal. I will let you know.
