Looks nice man, haven't seen one with a coil shock, it looks good, really nice freeride machine.

Thanks, i'd like to drop the weight on it a little with some different tyres, cranks etc but as it stands it is a brilliant bike.

It's a Spesh so I love it already!

Looks sweet, the rims are very cool.

I love it! absolutly amazing! i want a new bike now! but im not gonna be allowed one (apparently i have to pay for our wedding) so im stuck with my 20" hardtail for now!

yeah I know what you mean, I even offerred to build my wife a nice new Spesh FSR (saw a lovely frame too) but she didn't want to know

Nice bike
How do you rate those forks?
does it make much difference going from 140 to 160 on the front?
Can you climb with 160 or do you need the u-turns turned down to ride up stuff?

Thanks, i really enjoy the bike with these forks on, they are stiffer and more confidence inspiring than the fox 140 van r's i had.
the 160 plows through pretty much everything.
they aren't overly plush which suits me as most of the stuff i do is on smooth ground but they still track really well over rough stuff.

i would hunt out a set with the motion control damper, i intend on fitting one to mine soon.
i usually drop them to 115 if i am going out for an xc ride or somewhere inbetween it helps with the angles for pedalling as it is quite relaxed when at full height..

defo worth having in my opinion

You are welcome to take it for a ride next time we are out together see what you make of it

Thanks for the offer and the info, Andy

My pitch is only warrantied to 150 single crown on the front.

Are you sure I thought that was only the 2008 models they upped it later

Weirdly the electronic downloaded manual, says 150 but after seeing your post ive just checked the paper manual that came with the bike and it says 160.

Sorry for the confusion, 160 it is.

Get involved!

I like purely becasue it looks slack and slack is the way forward.
