 :) Are you going for a complete bike or custom build? You`ve got a load to chose from,Dialled frames are amazing and the new Deluxe frames look good.

 Mongoose sadly are not the company they were back in the 80s.Most of their bikes are aimed at the lower end of the market with the exception of the Fraction,Legion and Shield,all around £480 or so.

 :tickedoff: THIS IS DOIN MY FOOKIN HEAD RIGHT IN  :tickedoff: most trail completes are aiming at lighter weight, but my logic says this will be weaker  :idiot2:  wata gwan!!! i dont catch too much air anyway so im not fussed about weight, i want to throw it down a mountain quickly n not be worried about any part of the bike failing. i know i probably would be better off with a mountain bike but its not the same. so... f**k.... wot am i looking for now? a street bike instead? heat treated? cromoly (wtf that is i dont know)??? i just want to know that when i face plant into a tree that it is my fault not the bikes. sigh i dont know. sum1 sort me out!!!

Wheels,  many options here. 
Firstly, 36 or 48 holes, depending on how strong you want the wheel.  I run 36, I ride hard and im not that light (85Kgs) and my wheels hold up fine, just keep your spokes tentioned.
Chrome has a better breaking surface so I recommend that for the rear.
Any double walled rim, Sun, Odyssey, Alienation, Proper, eclat, Hoffman.  Tripple walls are stronger but heavier.
Hubs, profile are the best, but any sealed bearing cassette hub will do for your requirements.  10mm or 14mm axles, doesnt really matter as you wont run pegs on dirt.
Tyres, Odyssey dirt path, maxxis, intense micro knobbies or tioga comp3 would be good for dirt

dont get eclat  ... mate has one and he split the weld in a week of light riding !

and also glen he may run pegs on dirt for stuff like peg grabs and rocket airs?

got one of these "on one" jumping frames £30 posted, it's basically like a big bmx,even has bmx BB size, with a set of sus forks might do the job. It does have the seatpost stuck but I'm sure that could b easily removed
