Size large. Pos XL
Carbon Jekyll?
That Jekyll looks ace for the ones, I don't like the way it looks though. Just a bit odd.
The Capra's an awesome bike, not just a cheap bike. The bro-in-law has an Alu one with RS suspension (that I've been riding it for a while) and it's fast, comfortable, comfortable and confidence inspiring for £2k it's as good as the Nomad I borrowed in December (twice the price). The GF has the BOS equipped carbon one and that's even better. It appears that switching from her well specced Covert to the BOS Capra has increased her speed both up and down and cured her arm pump over night (hers was about £3k) and she's faster on it than on her old TR450 on all but the steepest, roughest stuff.
And they're good looking bikes. I'm 5'10 and the Large is fine.

I'd contemplated one, but theyre a bit too outside the box for me.
Someone posted a link to a giant reign on here yesterday on sale fo 2000 euros. Pike fork and Monach debonair shock. You could spend the 250 quid saved on an xt groupo and you'd have a better bike, imo.
Ill have a look, the XL capra is up to May wait, too slow, tooo slooow

At least call Fin and get a demo and then see if it works or not?
A new mega for 2k? Link?
There is one 2016 mega for £1999 on crc
I bought a 2015 mega frame with cane creek inline from chain reaction yesterday, it was £630 including 10% British cycling discount
You could get a £2k bike for £1800 if you buy from crc and use the British cycling discount, thank me later 🙂
sorry was assuming CRC were throwing them out like the other 9 months of the year 😳
