Loving that! That's 7lbs lighter than my alu XTC!

Always fancied one of these! Never took the plunge though. Very nice!
Are you running 80mm Sids?

Bloody hell i thought my stumpy was quite light :shock:

Syntace stem doesn't work though - heard it's only worth £15

You'll get on really well with the Maguras. Super light forks and super stiff. Aren't the frames not ment to take 100mm?

I'm sure they'd be fine with either I prefer the quicker steering with 80 and not bothered for 100mm of travel
