I was about to buy a lovely one.

But the nice man with the frame decided against selling it 🙁

That last one is massive!!! looks like a kids climbing frame. I heard a 90 yr old woman beat you up that hill n'all.

3 guys I ride with have them, blue, black & sand (or whatever they call it - sorry I have no real pictures of them), the later two bought one after trying the 1st guys bike. I've borrowed it for a week & was very impressed, but was after a 5" bike so went in a that direction instead. Compared with my 06 quad Marin it brought me to the conclusion I like the action of a single pivot bikes more than 4 bars. Very competent frame, handling was ace, basically I'd get one if I could afford it. Colour wise the lighter sand is the best of our 3, though I'd go for the red or orange if that's still an option

You might start getting a reputation.
You won't regret buying a Superlight though, whatever the colour

Just bought a new 09 anodised, rp23 shocked, small frame over in the US as I am over here for a couple of years with work.
Any advice on what forks to fit? looking at Fox, Rock Shoxs, but have seen Manitou Minutes for much cheapness over here, opinions anyone?
