Ok so I have finally worked what type of bike I want next, Freeride type angles with enought travel to do downhill when I feel the need. The Voltage and Soda look good as they both have 150 to 170 adjustable travel.

My Thoughts
The voltage is tried tested and loved on here I know many of you have one, also they come up cheaper second hand as they have been making them for a few years now.

The Soda, I like it, its a bit different but seems to be pretty much the same set-up as the voltage.

Others I was considering was BigHit 2010 Model, Bottlerocket and Dartmoor wish

What do you think, voltage, soda or something else entirely ?

Another one to throw in there

Nice looking - im testing a canyon right now and they are are solid bikes. The specs on them are just silly for the money

Id go for a bottlerocket or a voltage, Ian
good to see ya over the w/end

Whichever you get you will love matey

I nearly bought a Dartmoor wish from a distributor in Poland (they're polish bikes) he's on pinkbike and it was cheap £400 or so but just before i parted with the money i had all three (Wish, Soda, Bottlerocket) on the screen looking at geometry and build and decided it wasn't for me, the curved top tube just killed it for me ?

The Bottlerocket just gets imense reviews everywhere, there was a soda on here a while back for a steal and they're good looking bikes but i held out and got lucky and managed to buy a bottlerocket frame off pinkbike, the geometry of the BR is almost identical to my hardtail and i love that...

Morewood also have nice frames, have a look:

Once I saw a full bike top spec with one of their frames going for a bit more than £ 1000, couldn't believe...

There is one frame on Ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2011-Morewood ... 232968337c
