I'm game for most things, but would avoid alu frames with a reputation for cracking, yes manitou, yeti and your friends, I'm talking to you.
Not a huge fan of canti brakes but wouldn't rule them out on the right build.
Other than that, it's generally dents and unsightly damage or repairs. Too much rust. Low rent stuff (I'm a bike snob now). Quill stems and threaded headsets I'm not a fan of either. Oh, brake blocks, much prefer cartridge style.
Hard to find seat post sizes. That's most of my bikes though.
And one to polarise the crowd. M900 shifters. Rubbish shifting and feel. Always felt like they would break every shift. Look nice though.
