Not a great pic – bit foggy early on
Bought frame from Si @ Progressive – Cheers
Put some Vanillas on it last weekend
Cheers to LBS for the Service (Colne, Lancashire – there's only one)

Are you not going to tell us how it was then?

Oh Yeah,
Well it was to be expected
Took some setting up cockpit and Forks but everything was Brilliant – Did'nt push it too much downhill partly as I was absolutely knackered (first ride for 6 mths) but it feels very stable at speed
Weight wise is similar to last years five
Looking forward to taking it to Portugal with the lads – got 7 weeks to get fit

Very nice, been running my XCL this weekend first proper hard ride this year and with the upgraded CCDB on done a few short rides leading up to the weekend. I am staggered how good this bike is and the Lyric/CCDB combination is sublime, absolutely love it.

Have fun getting to know your new bike it will get better and better.

forge197 – cheers, I'm sure your right. It feels like it will get better and better, very sturdy, sure footed, responsive. Little bit more playing about to do with shocks, bit more weight to take of with brake, seatpost, tire upgrades

I've had my Chumba sometime now so I am outside the initial honeymoon period of ownership and it's still a great bike to ride it is the best FS trail bike/all mountain (what ever genre it is today) I have had.

Have fun getting it how you want it and enjoy the trails in Portugal.
