Recently got this built up. All 2nd hand parts apart from the shifter and mech. Came in very reasonably. Having set of pikes on the susser' I was unsure about the 34s, but they are very good. The FIT damper works well. Impressed.
First hardtail in a good few years. Going to have to learn how to ride again, and not sit down al the time!
Enough talk - photos.

Needs a black stem and wider bars. Final bits to get it [i]right[/i]
I like that, was very close to pushing the button on the red version, still tempted to now!
I wanted to get a red/blue one, but this came up at a good price in the right size...
I was sorely tempted by one of these. It does look fantastic.
I ended up going for one of those Mondraker Vantage frames that were on the homepage a while back.
Where did you get the Mondraker in frame only Chris?
Ordered it through my LBS. They aren't in yet. But will be in the not too distant future! 🙂
