For a bargain bike that is unbelievably good. Cable routing to the rear looks like little iffy but thats always a problem with full sus bikes.

The cable routing is very tidy for a full sus bike - espesh with V brakes insted of cantis - I would have had a hell of a headache trying to work these angles out!

I think there may originally have been a rocker gizmo in those empty holes - the brake cable attached to the end of it, with another short cable from the middle to the canti straddle.
