Kicking off a new series of Bike Checks, here's a friendly freelance photographer's Not Yellow Bicycle.
150mm forks paired with 120mm rear travel is probably what most of us could do with for UK riding. Surprisingly few options though (no doubt a long list will now appear… this is the Singletrack forum after all).
Can confirm the 2030 is a very nice bike to ride, this is mine. 140/120 here (it does allow 130 with a longer stroke shock)
very nice!
Are Scor available in the UK these days? I remember looking previously but it was hard to get one, so went with something else.

The 2 that I can name off the top off my head are the Banshee Phantom (115mm out back, 120-140mm up front and Chromag Darco (120mm out back and 150-160mm up front).
very nice!

Not sure on the UK, odd choice to sponsor some of the 50:01 folks if not. I'm in Ireland, bought a frame on sale from bike24.com
I like that. Was surprised to read the effective STA is as steep as 77.6 as the actual STA looks to be quite slack in the pics - obviously depends what the saddle was when the effective is measured.

Agree with that. In a singletrack forum style, an almost-matching bike is a Tallboy V5: 140 fork, 120 rear, 65.0 HA and 76.4 STA (with 140 fork). TBH it's all the bike I need 95% of the time.
Ordered a Dawley T16 which is similar in intent if not construction.
very nice! I enquired about one of those fairly recently, but didnt get a reply back. which probably did me a favour and saved a fair few quid!
Odd - Thom's been great so far for me.
I know he's been busy restructuring his offering and developing that collaborative enduro frame. Maybe worth a nudge. It's only money after all...
I'm also interested in if there's UK distribution yet?
Seen a couple out and about but they were bought from Euro sellers online.
