    Or even just the new colours, CRC have the Breath down as being blue for 2010 and there is a rather nice photo of the new white life here:

    Thanks Ken. Any comments on the bike, how it rides, etc?

    Just bought a Breath frame, but its a 16". I was expecting the colour to be "racing green" (last years colours) as it was in a sale, and was surprised to have a nice 2010 matt blue frame turn up for a price considerably less than CRC are selling them for.

    Unfortunately it seems the bike shop have corrected this oversight on their website and priced it the same as CRC.

    Peter Poddy or Alpin are you men to find out how they ride long term.

    Sonor – the new blue colour appears to be a gloss finish – as per the photos on here http://www.independent100.com/?q=category/brands/sanderson-cycles/sanderson-frames

    Sorry, it's gloss. 😳

    A couple of pics, Unfortunately my sh*t camera seems to lighten everything, it's actually a bit darker blue.

    that 20" looks like it needs 29" wheels or someone has fitted 26ers to the wrong frame

    It was nice to ride. Quite long in the top tube so more XC. The finish on the frame was excellent. I'd have another one tomorrow if I was after a steel XC bike

    Ah – the colours have changed. That's why when I requested details from the distributor so I could get some touch up paint it was all wrong.

    I bought an 18" Life in October and really like it.
    (It replaced a broken Ti-frame so had a hard act to follow)

    Bought a 20" Soloist last week and it appears to ride with more sprightliness than my old 20" Inbred, but can't say more than that as I've only ridden it once.

    As StirlinCrispin posted his Soloist I thought I'd post a pic of mine which I got on the CTW scheme

    Although it has changed since pic was taken and chances are it's gonna get Alfined as my knee doesn't seem to get on with SSing

    Only one handy – 20", Whinlatter way. Changed forks now to 110-140mm Revs. Can't fault the frame – the best of a long line of steel HTs I've had.
    If you're up this way and want a fondle, ping me a mail.

    hey, how tall are you 20 inch sanderson breath/life/soloist riders? I'm six foot and like a long toptube, thinking about buying one of these.
