im confused...E150 Front Forks 150mm and 27 speed...if you'd built it up surely it would be either 150mm + 1x9 or 100mm + 27 speed 😕

The fact they put those triple clamps on an XC frame should ring alarm bells!

It's an Enduro/Rockhopper frankenbike. Scary.

Don't get this though:

if you'd built it up surely it would be either 150mm + 1x9 or 100mm + 27 speed

Why? 😕

Because MBUK said so?

You have to admire the seller's cheek.

njee20, i just dont get why if you've built the bike to your spec you whack on gert big DH forks, then have a triple set...surely a nice medium would be a 2x9/10 and 130mm travel...i just think if you were riding that up hill the forks would make it very difficult 😉

#disclaimer, my opinion is based on 2 years of riding and reading a lot of magazines 🙄 😀

Are they downhill forks? My enduro doesn't think so.

Aah right, I see.

I think the fact they've put a 6" travel, dual crown fork on an XC hardtail identifies them as a moron anyway, and any subsequent component choices can be explained by this.

It's gone far beyond 'nice mediums' - blatantly fitted because they look cool.

Or he nicked an Enduro and split it up.

E150s aren't DH forks by a long stretch!

I'll happily bet that Spesh doesn't warranty the 'hopper for dual crown forks! 😉

Yep, the seller has broken up an Enduro judging by some of the finishing kit and the fact that the front wheel needs a custom axle hub.

Maybe there's a Spesh Enduro out there running 100mm Recons?
