to build one up in a hardcore lite stylee? i know i shouldnt even be harbouring these thoughts as ive just finished [url= http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/new-bike-27 ]this[/url] but having seen the one stw are going to be playing on i reckon a set of bolt thru revs/floats, 1x9, set of 2.3-2.4 fast rolling tyres, wide but low bar etc. and it would be an absolute ripper.

anyone done this already?

Dunno. But we were thinking it might be fun to mess about with one like that.

Dasa should us how to manual one up and down the shop yesterday - she loves them. Says she will be getting one for 4x/BMX style playpark riding. I (notorious non SS person) fancy one SS'd... just to go with the Mojo likes....

Don't buy one too small though. the medium is wee so the small must be for kids!

They look way too hot especially that copper colour, I absolutely love it. Sadly I couldn't justify the price and I don't think it is the bike for me.

I absolutely love it.

Ok, that's reason enough, go with the heart.

Sadly I couldn't justify the price and I don't think it is the bike for me.

point nullified by first statement.

If they'd made that rear triangle split-able then I'd be very tempted as I want my next frame to be able to both run my Rohloff and offer the option of using a belt drive.
