Cheers rockmeister, i used to run a Neoguard, but found it to be less effective on a Manitou minute I had on there before. I think attaching it to the rear arch did not stop as much crud flying up as it would when the arch is forward as in a Fox or Rockshox. May give it a try again as the Peaty guard has big cracks in it due to the many offs it has had to endure

Thanks all, for the photos and details on builds
They all look lovely. I'm currently no further forward in deciding on what trail bike to get (if anything I'm more confused than ever), but the mojo is definitely staying in the running at least until I have test ridden cinnamon_girls.geetee1972 - thanks for the post. I'm really looking for something that is a pedally all day machine, can be used for enduros (if I ever do one!) but that is also not going to be too much bike for trail centres and flying about singletrack. I have just bodged my Marin Attack back together, but, tbh, it just feels like way too much bike for what I need. Sure, it descends like a demon and actually jumps really well, but it just feels like such a beast now. The fact that the current build is at 35 lb doesn't help, but I am holding off spending any decent money on kit as I don't think it'll overcome the want for something, erm, tighter and I am trying to stay out of the trap of loosing that for more forgiving descending. BUT then again, I'm so used to riding tanks, pretty much anything built up properly is probably going to feel like a dream to climb on
The Nicolai option I will look into. One thing is for sure, I love industrial looking bikes, and the AC's really do fit the bill.
I'm not in a big rush, but, on the other hand, I do want to get back to some epic riding before the winter sets in again. So any input it much appreciated!

My HD140 in fluoro Vitamin P... 28lbs on the LBS digital scales, so very light for what it is. Currently running 160mm Devilles up front with 140mm out the back, works very well. Will be sourcing a coil shock for the rear to give the me the 160mm option
DSCF4239 by ten_sim, on FlickrDefinitely consider the Mojo SL-R, probably what I would've gone for if it'd been available to me if I'm honest. Having said that, perfectly happy with the HD variant, a really versatile frame!

The mojo hd is very capable all day bike it an be built up into a 26lb trail ripper. Obviously I can recommend a nicolai owning 3 myself, strong, capable, peddles very well, expensive, though you can get the sizing perfect. The ac can be built around 26lbs too, and you won't need to be worried about stregth.

hust out of interest what headsets are people using in the frame? Not sure if it is the same with the whole range but I am looking at the HD 160mm and it has a 1 1/8 upper and 1 1/2 lower cup. I have a 1 1/8 set of forks on my current bike and would like to conitnue to use them. Any ideas people?
