    Lots of lovely different machines here, including lots of really nice Nicolais – but what we need is a Liteville… 🙂

    Not the best angle but my Evil Uprising. 29lbs with a Float X now fitted.

    phildowling – how are you liking the uprising – what can you compare it to?
    Difficult to get a test ride, but the fact everyone is calling it ‘poppy and playful’ does tempt me.

    Quite a bit, I get to ride a few bikes through work etc. Treks, Oranges, Santa Cruz. All good bikes but the Evil fits me the best and was an awesome price point hence why I bought one. Also they are a bit of bike porn 😆

    Had a Mega before fitted with a DHX 5.0 which I loved but found the back end a little flexy in some situations (Was an early one).

    This is far more direct and stiffer, no side to side flex in the swingarm so if the back steps out on a root or rock etc. then finds grip again it really fires you back on line. (if that makes sense?!)Grip levels on it are unreal!

    Pedaling wise, I’m not as fit as I once was but sit and spin and theres no noticeable bob at all, if you stand up over the front and power down the thing absolutely skoots forward! I run mine in Trail shock setting all the time never use climb and have a 375mtr climb out of the house on a road up to the mountain.

    Size wise, i’d try and sit on one, I’m 5’8 and went for the Medium/Long and run a 40mm stem on it. Medium had a better seat tube but felt to short, but its all personal. I like long top tubes for some reason!

    Mud clearance wise, not had a problem even on a local Avalanche race when they’d cut new trails in and it was a proper clog fest, it seems to clear itself due to the swingarm shape.

    Descent wise, I can’t go quick enough to test it! Fair few top 10’s on the local strava tracks and a decent showing at BikePark Wales.

    Poppy and playful is correct, feels like a smaller travel bike in the way you can move it round but then happily crashes through anything!

    Awesome little review here – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpefrivcD38&feature=player_embedded

    I’m South Wales based if you wanted a pedal sometime.

    Thank you. Sounds great.

    It’s a long way for me (in the peaks), but I very much appreciate the offer!

    Cover not far from there with work so could maybe meet up for a ride anyway.

    I’d highly recommend one, but there’s so many nice bikes about these days!

    Looks great phutphutend. Love the simplicity. The only downside is no bottle mount.

    Personally see that as a plus. No need for one on an Enduro type bike

    Riding with a pack sucks!

    I’ve got the SWAT cage/tool, tube on the frame and pump in my back pocket. Done.

    I was going to say phutphutend wins the thread… But then isn’t the point to get us to buy more bikes? 😆

    2014 Alpine, it’s gotten considerably dirtier since these pics which were taken the day it was delivered.

    Some lovely bikes on here.

    Some of my favorites are: the stealth bandit, Blur tr, Evil uprising and phutphutend’s hand build beauty.

    Generallevi – loving the rune mate, top spec, lairy but I like it 🙂 I think the rune would be one of the few serious contenders if I ever kill my alpine (along with another alpine of course). Some lovely bikes in this thread.

    @Stevede
    Thanks mate. I used to ride and Alpine, old shape, great bike. There is not much in them in the way if performance in my opinion but they both go about it in a completely different way.

    @downhilldave cheers fella. We stayed with Michael at Switchbacks and it is a truly amazing set up. 10-15 van assisted runs a day, staying in a Scarface type mansion and because of Spain’s unfortunate economical meltdown everything is dirt cheap, including many bars being 1 euro a pint. 😉 Literally struggled to spend our money which is a far cry from Morzine 😉
