Totally agree with Stilltortoise, if you want the Turner, you’ll still want it after getting a Trek.
I’ve had a 2010 Flux and a 2011 5-Spot, and to be honest the handling is incredibly similar, neither feel twitchy or steep. The Flux with 120mm forks was brilliant, but I blew through the rear travel constantly – which could be fixed with a volume spacer. Plus the space at the rear for mud clearance was pitiful – I live in Scotland, and it’s pretty muddy at the forest behind the house.
The Spot is brilliant, as long as you’re not going to race and want to win those races, it’s a bonkers brilliant bike. Hey, if it feels a bit too steep get a work component headset to reduce the HA and some off set bushes.
£1275 – is that full bike or frame only?
