That's a nice looking bike!

Is more than enough for anything in the uk.
There is a guy currently rocking one in Whistler & he's loving the nimbleness and pop of the bike. Had no issues. Not surprising though, this particular frame design has had 3 yrs of development.
Other contenders were , YT industries noton, scott voltage FR, Kona onturage ,
but this came out on top for me.
One very happy person right here

Glad you got it sorted Mick,
where is it coming from ?

It's coming from CRC, i had a look all around for a good price & these guy's were a whopping £500.00 cheaper than the next closest dealer. The 2013 wasnt that much different to the 2012, and most people dont stock the 2012 anymore either, so finding this bike at a grand cheaper over all was a no brainer.

very nice, and different! not something u see every other bloke riding

Cheers,

Yeah my aim was to get something less obvious,
Also i like the short squat, easy flickable size. This bike came from slpoe style origins so it will be slightly smaller than other FR contenders, but that suits me fine.
You could say this is SS/FR instead of FR/DH. If it's good enough for people to ride on Whistler A line.....
it's good enough for me!!!!

Sweet bike!,luv the decals

Nice - looks super burly. Like a bottle-rocket mated with a blindside

Have you got any away days planned to give it a good thrashing.

Well done Muzza excellent choice.
I saw someone riding the same at Danbury last sunday. It looks even better in real life than on the pictures.

Thanks ppl
