Anyone got one? What are they like to ride? from reviews I have seen they look like a good solid bike just wondering what they are like on a longish day out. Probably going to get one for trail inspection work at Lee Quarry and the surrounding area.

I've got one and I love it, I do. I've been through several hardtails and have finally landed on one that I've no little niggles with.

I had one for about 3 mts. Bought it new for a good price (£900) - I didn't get on with it - i had the 18.5 inch version and found it too small (I'm 5 11") to be comfy on all day rides. I know a few people who use the alpitude as their only bike and really like them.

Btw - check the welding as mine looked as though it had been welded by stevie wonder (so bad that other riders would comment!)

I'm a smidge under 5 foot 11 and ride the 16.5 inch model and find it perfect, so obviously horses for courses.
