Why is a Spearfish ‘ridiculously expensive new’?
Very light carbon frame for £1999? Compared to most other frame only carbon bikes that are £2500-£3000?
Although, at 120 you are after the Horsetheif or Pony Rustler frame. Again, £1999 and such good fun. I have been riding one with 27+ setup and it’s phenomenal. Very impressed! Should make an equally great 29er. We weighed a stock frame at 5.75lbs with shock. If you are looking second hand then steer clear of anything pre split pivot, they aren’t the same bikes.
My girlfriend has been riding our Orbea Occam demo and says it’s everything her Smuggler is but lighter. Frame only for these is £2399, full bike with carbon frame from £3100.
If you aren’t fussed about carbon then Smugglers are amazing, super super fun and very fast!
It’s a great time to be into 29ers :p

I don’t want to give it back to the shop!
