Why this bike?
I’d like to upgrade the brakes, maybe to XTR or Hope TR4s. I might even do something crazy like cuting 20mm off the bar width! I love how this bike looks. I love how this bike rides. It’s also my only bike.
Show us yours!
We’ve rejigged the Reader’s Ride online form and pic uploader to make it clearer, quicker and simpler

Nice bike, even in snot green 😀
I think that would be a worthwhile upgrade. I found the G2 RSC brakes almost ok but nothing more
Very nice! If I had space for another bike then I’d love a Stumpy.
We need a proper driveside photo though. That should be one of the rules of submission @Ben_Haworth
Looks good 👍 👍👍
@citizenlee – whilst it’s not a rule, we do say “Side on picture of your bike- The better your pictures the more likely we are to feature your bike"
That’s a gorgeous bike, and has me instantly looking online to see if I could afford/ justify one…
Nice bike OP – I’ve had my comp version years and still love it. Re the rear suspension, the advice I remember from the mtbr forum when I first got mine was your weight in pounds plus 20-30 to get your psi. I must admit I always just sort mine by feel these days but seem to remember the above advice was about right.
I’ve got the comp, great bike. I did upgrade the brakes to Hope due to preference tbh. I also fitted narrower bars. Shame they don’t make these any more. I’d go for the stumpie 15 if I needed a replacement
I wrote a long comment on this article on the original page only for it to disappear when I clicked post with a message saying that “comments were closed".
FFS STW if the comments are closed on a page don’t allow people to write something in the first place. No, I can’t be arsed to write it again.
