I had a friend who had one of the first versions, which I think were a bit lighter in the frame. He really liked it but had problems when it came to stripping it down to replace bearings and stripped a thread in the frame. He thought it was not exactly the best engineering practice to thread bolts directly into the frame, and bought something else the next time.
They do have a lot of pivots for a bike to be used in UK conditions. 10 tiny bearings in total maybe?
As per other posts, Boardman, Canyon have better deals. Also Chainreaction are selling similar spec Ghost full susser’s for sub £1000 with money off, and there is also Paulscycles which sell Giant, Cannondale, Mongoose full sussers for bargain prices.
