That looks identical to my plastic 29er, which I rode during [url= http://www.turboferret.co.uk/mtbhimalaya/mtbhimalaya.php.php ]MTB Himalaya[/url] last year and has seen quite a bit of other action too.

Really like it - light, chuckable, responsive, comfortable, although having said that it's my first 29er, so some of that might be down to the wheel size.

I paid £269 for mine including a headset, which has lasted fine.

Cheers, Rich

Where did you get that for 269? Looks a bargain.

No sign of it, just some lousy £240 one instead. Not even worth looking at. 🙂

I bought mine in April last year, so the ebay details aren't available any more, and I can't remember the exact weight I'm afraid, but it was certainly respectable.

I didn't want to go BB30 so went with a BSA BB, but other options were available.

I don't think that it's a direct copy of anything specific, although I may be wrong, a lot of these bikes take inspiration from lots of brands, but all I can say is I like it and it was a bargain!

My UK riding buddy is a very good DHer, and normall whips me on the twisty stuff and descents, while I kill him on the ups. First ride on this bike and I schooled him everywhere 😀

Cheers, Rich
