Someone on craigslist is selling a trek frame Alpha aluminum frame with nothing else for 45$ maybe I should buy it and put the rest of my bike parts from Walmart on this frame wondering if it be a good idea or how much it would cost at local bike shop to do this anyone know?

Depends on the number of parts...to get my road bike stuff switched from one frame to the next it was a bit over $100 BUT I also got a decent discount on the labor.

FWIW - the advice in the other thread is probably the best you are going to get.
Save your money for now and keep riding your bike that you currently have. There is a chance that your components won't work on the frame anyway.

I buy components from them all the time.
The biggest problem with buying online is getting the right size/fit.
What are you looking at? I don't see anything that looks like it's in your budget??

I was just curious, I hope to save money so by spring I could spend 500 on a good bike.
Buying online can be a good way to make your money go further, you just need to know what you're looking at. Getting the right size frame is very important.

I was thinking of buying this and getting parts from pricepoint.com or taking parts from walmart bike and putting on this.
There's likely nothing on the walmart bike that you can or would want to transfer over to this frame. Buying the parts individually is most likely going to cost you more than just buying an assembled bike.
That looks like a decent frame, and I'm sure that $45 is a fair price, but it's basically a low end MTB frame that retailed for $300 in 2006 as a complete bike.

650B baby for us right coasters!!!!!!
This is the one I am looking at.
Niner's are better for out west in IMO.
totally agree. In the market for a new bike. Rode a 29er while on vacation. Found it to be heavy and sluggish on quick climbs. Will be getting 27.5.

$5700, if I get a good price on one then I could sell my old one to for a reasonable price.

that is just crazy for a bicycle. I paid significantly less than that for my motorcycle. & I did not buy a crappy motorcycle.
