Awesome? Looks a total rip off at that price to me, that's a £999 spec if ever I saw one.

+1 - really poor spec, fork aside. Not a decent part on it.

There are 2 0r 3 people on here with one (me included) but we all bought frame only and specced up the build ourselves.

Great bike though but the full spec offering is simply awful from a value for money perspective. Mine cost a similar amount (a tad more) but that got me a full XT/XTR 1x10, Reba Team 120mm forks, better wheels and finishing kit.

As stated above - the only decent kit after the frame is the fork and the chain device. Alivio shifter and 1x9 for £1600? No thanks.

The chain device is the cheapo LS1 - stamped steel.

I may have an 18" frame for sale in a few weeks if you are interested. I may be persuaded to do a deal on the Reba tapered fork and hope headst too. Mail in profile if you want.

Don't know about about the Honzo, but I bought a Kona Steely frame (pretty much the 26" equivalent) off CRC for cheap and it's absolutely lovely. As above, I think the complete bikes are a bit underspecced for the price, but if you can get a deal on the frame, I'd say go for it.
