mmm mmm 😉

should have gone to specsavers

I'll buy it off you in January. £1200 for the complete bike?

I don't care what anyone says about 29ers, unless they're >21" frames they look stupid.

It's too flexy for you, you won't like it.

Take this advice and save £4,500. 😀

My vote is:

Foes – YES

29er – NO

Tried big wheels and didn't like it. Each to their own I suppose.

Why is there a caterpillar inside the LH crank?

custom beefed up option…….or so i have been told.. 8)

it is a lot of money tho, considering what you can buy for that kind of money…
mrs t caught me looking at bikes this morning….big bust up…
hose needs this, car needs that, daughters skiing trip needs paying…you need a haircut..
might have to do without a new bike for a while…
anyone got any cheap xl bike for sale….. 😉

mud clearance? who need mud clearance!

Remember that is just a proto guys. All of the frames that have been exhibited at the shows have had a different seat stay brace & wider stays for increased clearance.

Brent is making the frame as stiff as possible so the frames will not have the tapered seat stays but a standard diameter seat stay as featured on the Prolites. This will increase stiffness significantly.

The frame will not be any more flexy than our 26" Prolite 2:1.

Ton – We have advised a custom frame for you due to the sizing. At your height we would need to extend the seat tube which just means we need to brace it a little more to take the extra stresses. The frame would be man enough as it is in Large size but depending on the geo you want, i think it'll be too small for you. We will also custom tune the rear shock for your weight.

Do it!

[andy pipkin]I don't like it[/andy pipkin] but each to their own i guess.

Thought you had the Ventana as your full susser 😕

I think it looks ok but i wouldn't climb over the Ventana you already have to get to it especially at that price……..
