Perhaps the globe's finest collection of new bike stuff to be delivered to a media house on the Lancashire-Yorkshire borderlands.

So the shock is free as its the same price with a shock as frame only

Shimano XTC? Giant, surely?

Maybe just my senses working overtime, but I reckon that could perhaps be a clue to the secret thing where Benji definitely wasn't last week...

I can't bring myself to spend £20 to have my, albeit lovely, OneUp EDC pump in line with my frame so use of these at £6: https://www.zefal.com/en/inflation-accessories/264-universal-mounting.html

Liking the 'wrap as paintjob' idea. A harlequin would be very cool.

The wrap idea is cool, especially if you could send it back to them for a fresh new colour if you get bored

I've got exactly the same thing for the same reason. £20 is a bit rich for a tiny bit of plastic.

If it was the standard mount I would have bought a One Up pump just for the inline mount. I'm not buying the very expensive pump then another 20 quid mount.

I’m pretty sure that my Lezyne mini pumps all came with a similar pump bracket included

It's not even worth bothering to moan that two hundred and twenty quid for a pair of pumps is mental, the world's gone mad.

The Carbon Wasp looks lovely. When are we getting a full geometry chart and is there enough room at the rear to run a proper sized brake?

I had a quick ride on the prototype of the Carbon Wasp around 18 months ago - think it was full 29er then rather than mullet? It rode really really nicely, I was pretty close to putting down a deposit but ended up with the Bird AM instead. Hope they sell a few, Adrian was lovely to deal with.

Probably going to get some wildly progressive effective shock rates with a 150mm flexstay bike like that Carbon Wasp.
