Mine arrived yesterday - it is yellow, it is bright yellow and @ <£220, a bargain*
Swapping all the bits over from my 2006 Gary Fisher Ziggurat so, a touch heavier, a touch shorter and a touch slacker on the head angle...
*retains right to revise opinion when it is built and ridden 😉
Hag down the roads knocking them out for a tenner, get what you pays for mind. Her liver failure makes her a kinda dull death glow yellow.
You'll love it Chris!!
They are ace frames..
Had one sine 2006. Great fun.
£220?
You could have had two Pompinos for that!
<goes off to look up Pompino>
two for £220 - lordy - still as the say, there is no such thing as a bad pompino!
they look great in any colour
I was taken with the Kermit Green when I got mine (2011) but how can you not love the yellow !!
Were these specials or limited sizes? Cheapest I can see is 269. There is one 15.5 cheaper but were the others cosmetic damage as well?
£20 more than I paid for my Curtis from CRC 
cb. IIRC, it was all sizes but just white and yellow that they dropped from £299.
edit - just looked - sorry dude, they have lifted back to £269....
Nick - how tall are you & what stem length are you running, please?
that's my only minor worry now - 740 wide bars and a 45mm stem, works fine on current bike but the cove is, I think, around 20mm shorter on the effective top tube length than my current bike.
I figure it'll be a ride or 3 to get used to it / decide changes are required.
edit - elshal - yep, that very yellow! Had wanted the red but they were not discounted.
my finger was hovering for 2 days. the yellow one also. i just wanted it to drop one more time ( i know !!)
sigh maybe next time 😉
I saw the offer while I was at work, was after a stiffee rather than a handjob but by the time I'd got home the 17.5's had sold out, gutted 🙁 they're both good frames though, enjoy yours!
skeetsgb - i'd seen the Friday lunchtime drop was the last one so I knew £219 was as low as it was going (until they do a huge clear out on remaining stock!)
House move means no phone line / broadband so I had a bit of a sweat on when I was able to log in on Saturday morning - seems I got lucky 🙂
hareydan - cheers - better luck when the next offer comes up 🙂

Nick - how tall are you & what stem length are you running, please?
Apologies Chris, only just seen this..
I'm just under 6ft, but little legs- 30"..
Mines a 17.5" frame.
I'm running a 70mm Thomson, with uncut 780mm Renthals..
Spotty dog IMHO.
Cheers Nick - i'm 5'10" with a 31" inside leg. Expecting I might be needing to swap the stem for something longer but, time will tell 🙂
We must meet up soon Chris- Its been far too long fella..
Sorry for the delay guys -
qwerty - i'd best not tell MrsMM that they need be stores on the table!
nick - yep, been a long while. Hope to catch you on a forum ride sometime soon!
edit - btw, mine is still in the box.... on Sunday I took my 'old one' out for one last ride - just looking to make time to strip and reassemble things into the new yellow machine... 🙂
C'mon... get it built
😉
I want to see another yellow one.
