Well I thought is give a little update.
Yesterday a friend and I made our way to Wales with no fixed destination. About half way down the M4 another friend of ours was at BPW and had managed to blag 2 extra uplift passes, so our new destination was put in the Sat Nav and away we went. ANYWAY THE BIKE. One word, brilliant. Coming from the gspot, this thing felt like a Rolls Royce on the trails. I made some fine adjustments as mentioned above, and the tracking was sublime, yet still a good pop to it. One thing I noticed is its fantastic weight balance, in the air it was easy to control, with no unexpected nose dives or front end rockets. It more than coped with some fairly rocky trailsa a good lick, but excelled on the swooping flowy blues. I did find some of its limits on the gaps with a rear end blow out, though a little more commitment would have had a better result, though this isn’t a down hill bike it still showed the big bouncy bikes it was up for a fight. From bikes of old it was a revelation!
