Anyone got one? Any pics/reviews/opinions?

Pure race bike or slack/supple enough as an all-dayer as well?

I had a Commencal Flame, photobucket via VirginMedia seems dire if you want some pics can do that for you.

In my opinion it's more focused to being a race bike, it's in no way comfortable for all-day riding it's stiff very stiff. I did take it up and down Snowdon (climbed up) rode down but it wasn't really designed for that and I went over the bars on the way down (weight to far forward).

It was lovely on 1 - 1.5 hours dry days around Swinley on smooth singletrack. Wouldn't really want to ride it all day it's much more of a blast on a dry day bike and for that it was excellent, I sold it though and built up a Dialled Prince Albert which is much more comfortable and better for all day riding.
