After a nightmare 2 months of waiting without a bike i picked this up on Saturday...

Please direct all criticism about the flagging and plants to my kid brother.

I think it's an example bike built before the XT prices went up so got it for a bargain! The Rebas are excellent!

Cheers,

Took it round the North Face on Sunday, my arse has nearly healed up from the terrible saddle. Thanks Merlin for replacing it with a Rocket V featuring "padding".

Climbs pretty well and sits nice and low for throwing it around on the downs. Came with a 100mm stem but at the last second peer pressure changed it to a 70. Rides much better for it.

Sounds like a steal - but you need to have words with your brother about that pointing - shocking!

I'll get him told 😉

Flats are here to stay Donk, just got my glass knees to start looking the same!

Came in at £1200, full 09 XT, Reba Race, 08 Blizzard, Race Face Deus Kit. Pretty sure it's a bargain, was adding up the prices and it went above £1500 to build it to that level since the Shimano rise.

Happy days!
