Nick,
Excellent. New you would enjoy it. The HJ is built for 'Hidden Valley' on the Penhydd.
All the best.

1981miked....Don't sell it!....unless you have to of course.
I'm only 1 ride into my ownership of mine but i absolutly love it (so far!). I bought mine to ride my local wooded singletrack but found it great fun at Afan today.
I love my Orange 5 Pro too but it's overkill for nearly all my local riding and i think it'll be fun to switch between the two.
Steve_b77...i experimented with my forks throughout the whole ride and will continue to do so but i too felt i found a happy medium somewhere around the 115-120mm travel setting, 130mm felt odd. Some more fiddling to do i suspect.

Yeah they definitely suit a light fork at around 115 - 120mm, can never figure out why people put Pikes etc on them, they're not really the bike for that.

Mines an older frame, but in fairness I've had a couple of years off mountain biking, so while it is a (?) 2003 frame, and was only built in 2004, it's only had about 3 years use in that time. Note the canti-bosses on the seat stays.
Build is mostly XT drivetrain, Manitou Black forks (100/120mm travel), Easton bars & stem, Synchros post, Flite saddle. Formula B4 brakes, 180/140mm discs. I'm a bigger rider but still find the 19" bike maybe a touch too big, however I'm just a trail rider, so it does the job well. Regarding fork travel, the older frames are meant to run 100mm max, which I did used to run, but seeing as it is well out of warranty I've started running 120mm, and it rides better with the longer travel - mostly because the fork is working better on the longer setting, running at the same air pressure as i had in it when it was on 100mm.

I noticed you said you might get rid of the m4's in one of your first posts,
if you want to swap the m4's for some xt disc brakes then i could be interested!!
email in profile if your interested
cheers
