    If he does sell it, I want first dibs!

    Nearly bought one a year or so ago after having a blast out in the Alps. Got myself an Intense Slopestyle instead though!

    I'll be feverishly building tomorrow. Might get some pics up later this weekend. Still trying to get some decent travel adjust forks for it, my Z1 SL's will have to do for now…

    I personally think your SL's will be perfect for it. heihei, you know I owe you pints.

    Maybe… just fancied being able to set forks at 120mm for xc and still have 160mm available for gnarly stuff. Fox tala 36's don't come cheap though it seems…

    Mine handles terribly with 160mm 36s. Much better on 130mm.

    Hmmm – so maybe Pikes or Rev's are the way to go. Choices choices….

    I know a shop in Ireland that has a large frame in trans red. I could pass on the contact details if you wish.

    I leave my AM SLs in 160mm mode all the time on my 4X. Handles brilliantly.

    Hijacking I know but if anyone wants similar handling/geo to the 4x and is short on cash heres an option. I did it and it rocks…

    Take one cheap old 2005-6 Santa Cruz Heckler and put a shorter 190 x 50mm shock on it rather than the standard 200 x 57mm.

    You end up with 5" of travel. BB at 12.8 and a head angle of 66-67 with 140mm RS Revs.

    I've started a new thread- it came in this afternoon from Spitalfields. On the psi- I'm reckon 160 for a 95kg rider with 25% sag?

    See here: http://www.santacruzbikes.co.uk/bicycles/blur4x.html under shock set-up guide. Assuming it's got a Fox shock on it 160psi would suit a 72kg rider. I'm ~95kg with a big breakfast in me, more with clothes & Camelbak the SC recommendation for me is ~210psi. I run mine at ~200psi and it's good. Much lower than that and it's too wallowy.

    True, otherwise it would be 5mins and a few barcadi breezers. Sorted.
