Bought this for a mate
http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/710-53481 ... 23176b1761
on paper it all sounds good. Paul Sadoff geometry, 853 steel, decent enough XT groupset and quite a nice fork
but I rode it home today for giggles and, okay this was a road commuter trip, it was cold and dark and I have a chest infection so not a great start or a judgement of how it would behave off-road, it was probably the worse bike I have ridden in a while.
Such a short top-tube with what seemed a high head-tube making the reach even shorter. It felt like a shopping bike.
The frame didn't feel right either...it kinda shakes rather than whips like a good steel frame. I certainly didn't feel like I would want to do anything on it but gently plod along on it.
