I agree,
I don't think quagmire is good for many bikes with a lot of linkages..
Saying that this needs to be ridden off road.. don't get me wrong, I'm not a tarmac jockey.. been riding the brown and grey for 20 years..
(You can see a couple of bike's I built and used in my gallery.)
It's just that after spending sooo much time building it without marking the frame.. just one of those things.. I've got other bikes I can hammer into the ground anyhooo My Specialized S-works 2005 Epic with Maverick DUC 32 forks keeps that side of my brain happy!
The MF doesn't look dated next to it either!
Well lots of PM's about how much people like it and some cool comments on the threads but it really does have to go.. so will probably be sticking on ebay at the weekend..
Again if there's anyone seriously after this bike, PM me and we can chew the fat on what you have to spend and what I can do for your budget.
Take it easy guys..
