    Lovely hardtail that. Full XT, Fox forks, and 853 tubes. You’d have to be a real badge snob to dismiss it.

    I don’t like the white mainframe and black swingarm look of the Ariel, but that’s about all the faults that I can find with it.

    The Kili looks great!

    That Kili Flyer is lovely looking. If it rides well and fits then ’tis a bargain
    You’d have to be an anorak to know what it is from a distance anyway

    There was a pic of the Ariel frame on here lately, in ano black with gold detailing, looked a lovely frame.

    The white/black with the white wheels and background makes it look very bargain basement in those pics, somehow.

    That’s nice. £1200 is a bargain. That would just get you a Soul & the forks.

    I’m a badge snob these days. I don’t mind riding any bike, but it galls when a frame you bought for £380 and made of 853 and all the right angles and stuff sells for £80 about 12 months later. Just cos it said Genesis on the downtube. So, for residual values I avoid anything that may end up losing me big cash. My own fault for being a bike swapper.
