Looking maybe at getting one of these I have a set of 55 's I will have set to 140mm with a 20mm bolt thru. Mainly ride in the peaks and in the local woods not a mad hucker but will go for the odd 5ft drop and working on my doubles. Is this the right frame for the job, want steel and not to spend a fortune, not sure if 13" bb is a bit high !! Any ideas / experiences

I've got one and I love it. Ton seems to like his too. Not done any 5' drops though! Head anlge may be a bit slack for dirt jumping?

It does seem to be the latest bike to have a hard-on for.

Barney, hmmm is STW a hotbed of upgradeville?

Got one last week but only had one ride on it so far, last bike was a full sus so too early for me to give any decent view but I definately liked it (first time on a hardtail properly in 3 years). I'll second Barney_McGrew's comments – I have never seen a bike have so many "tyre kickers" when it was left outside the cafe at Glentress.

i think they are ok……..
and the only thing i get a hard on for is fish and chips form a certain chip shop in calderdale…. 😉
