Got a frame only and built it up with chunky kit, never really had an issue with longer rides. It's never going to be as fast as an XC bike but it'll get you there, very nice for the technical stuff as well.

I've never ridden one, but I seem to remember a very good review in MBUK a while ago.

I had a look for photos and apparently I don't have any!
Will maybe take one at lunchtime if the boys go to sleep.

They look bomb-proof, but is bomb-proof what you need???

I looked at these as well, it was heavy compared to the crush, with marz' 55's and only had 8 speed setup, which seemed a bit low-rent for the money.

Anyway, 1st ride on the Crush & I never looked back. I think it's possibly one if the best value bikes you can buy.
