In my opinion, one of the best short travel frames of its time (and still today!).

Seeing your build brings back memories of mine. I had one in exactly the same size with nice big discs with the exact same forks! Once you've got that rear shock set up properly, it's amazing. No pedal bob/feedback just like a hardtail, but then as soon as you hit the slightest bump it's as plush as you like!

Lovely :cool: :cool:

Cheers mate, I did a lot of research as that is just what I wanted from a full sus.
I keep looking at newer frames but nothing gets the sort of reviews this does. So I won't be getting rid any time soon :)
