ooh cheers! Just got to find a back issue now!

How did it do?

If you fancy typing in the entire review and scanning a few photos, that'd be great ! 🙂

Seemed to do pretty well in the review. It's a very personal choice; if you're spending that much money on a frame only then you've got your own reasons for doing so and reviews are probably not going to influence you too much. I think MBR sort of gets that.
The suggestion they did make was that the heavy duty extras (the 150mm rear, floating brake arm and caliper etc), added a lot to the cost and the weight but perhaps didn't add much for UK trail use. Without these the frame is relatively light and a few hundred quid cheaper, both of which make more sense.
