mmm lush bikes, i love da bomb now!

Very nice! ive never seen one built up like that. not a bad weight for it either.

My frames on eBay at the moment, didn't sell last week. if it doesn't go this week im going to take it out and get it dirty

It's an interesting ride as a trail bike. The lateral stiffness of the back end combined with the platform on the Radium shock make it very hard-tail like to pedal and thread down singletrack (my old single-pivot Marin was flexier, and the back wheel didn't necessarily go quite where you expected/intended at times). The low leverage ratio makes the platform very effective indeed and makes the rear suspension action very unintrusive - it just gets on with it. I'd love if it were a bit lighter (and I think they could easily make a strong enough frame for my kind of riding about 300-500g lighter), but it was not really meant for light weight. It seems a shame that they lost the adjustable travel option on the 2009 frame. I can't tell any difference between 2009 and 2010 models.

Frame is now Sold bought an On-One 456 to replace it. cant wait to build it up
