Superb. :cool: One of the most interesting (and important) MTBs I've seen posted here in a long time. Looking forward to seeing what you learn from the shop.
 
That is one cool cookie, Definatley one of my fave bikes I have seen in ages, and with it being from Bristol makes it a very fine machine indeed :cool:

Cant wait to see this built up and let me know when you are in Bristol ;)
 
I'm trying to like this but I think I need to see it built first.

Just had a thought - welcome to the 'is it/ isnt it? Downward sloping top tube' club.
 
Looking forward to seeing a bit more information about this bike Neil. Looks very nice and interesting. :cool:
