Looks quite good as a frame only option and wondered if they're any good (as I can't find any reviews).
Latest issue of st, nice looking bike, very understated stealth black.

He's right, and they seem to like it. It does look nice, I'd like to know the frame weight but can't seem to find it.
Don't care how it rides, what it looks like or the fact that it's ridiculously overpriced.
Even if I did feel like blowing 2.5k on a generic korean full susser with a mediocre spec, WHAT THE BLINKING FLIP IS A 'GRAPIL'?!?!!?
Grapple? yes, I know what that means, but Grapil?
Go away you pathetic, useless marketing monkey with your ****y designer sunglasses, your flip chart and your silly little beard and stick your ugly non-word and misuse use of the English language up your skinny jean clad arse.
Thank you.
Say what you mean why don't you Rusty Spanner ❓ ❗ 😀

Google is your friend! They've named the bike after a company in Poland that seems to deal in clothing for the various industries...
So...I take it Boardman bikes are hand built in the UK by Mr Boardman?
Sure the full bike doesn't look that great spec wise, but I like the 120/140 mismatched suspension.
I'll probably wait and get the Cotic mismatched susser anyway, but probably be just as expensive.
Made in Taiwan actually, and you can spec your own parts if they're too mediocre for you.

Yes, I'd seen that 😀
Couldn't really see the connection, tbh, so assumed the worst.
If it is named after the Polish frock-botherers then I wholeheartedly approve.
Doubt it though. 😐

Apologies.
Nothing against Korean or Taiwanese manufacture btw, but it is a cost cutting measure when compared to UK manufacture, isn't it?
I'm sure it'll be a fantastic bike, far better than I am - but £2500.00?
Really?
When a better specced Boardman is a grand less?
Someone, somewhere is tacking the mick.
EDIT.
So it's old(e) French for a bunch of grapes?
The Genesis Hemmorhoids?
I'm starting to like it a bit more.
By the way, the last time I questioned the cost of Pivateer they sent me a free copy.
Soooooooooo,
16 inch frame, and I prefer the green one.
Thanks. 🙂
Anyone know the weight of the full build? Whats wrong with SLX? I suppose it doesnt have fox on it...
The choice of a fox shock on the frame only option would have been nice.
They could slightly justify the price if the frame looked good, but I mean man, that is a cheap looking frame.
I think its the finish. It makes it look dull, wouldve been much nicer to have another option especially on the frame only. Maybe its better in the flesh.
