I’m looking at replacing stolen bikes and have seen the Focus Sam 1.0 it definitely isn’t cheap but looks like pretty good VFM at around £4k. pretty favourable review here as well http://flowmountainbike.com/tests/tested-focus-sam-1-0/

has anyone had any experiences or know anything about them?

Other bike I am considering are a Nicolai Helius but the earliest they are available will be the end of June which feels like a very long way away with no bikes and a Banshee Spitfire but all the previous bearing/bushing issues etc are a bit of a worry.

before anyone is helpful enough to point it out I can see my spelling mistake but don’t know how to change the post!
