That's a lot of bike for the money.

I would have one now if I had the cash.

Only nagging thing is some negative reviews regarding the forks?

They are a little short and maybe a little steep.
You need a mortgage to get the shock serviced.
Can't go wrong for that money though.

Hadn't thought about the shock, guess it will be a specialist job. Will have to look into ut

They look good but that weird shock puts me right off.

£140 for the shock.They appear to be pretty reliable if serviced regularly.I'd be a little concerned about spares in the longer term (you can't get bladders for some Fox forks that are only 3 years old!!!)

Almost bought one but the 1.5 headtube and 31.6 seat tube put me off.

If you don't mind the kit that comes with the bike, then at that price, it's a bargain.
