This is no doubt a well worn topic, but here goes, pick me one for the Quantocks and general ****ting about duties. The only requirement being that my skinny pins need to get it to the top of whatever it's going back down. Price is allways an issue but not the deciding factor.

seen plenty of great comments about the ragley blue pig; that would probably fit the bill perfectly...

Agree, everybody should have a 456.

Just spent the day in Swinley on mine - top fun.

On-one are the obvious choice (wife has one), but are there better frames? Certainly not at their price point, cy at puts up a pretty good argument for the extra cost (but what else can he say?)
Ive got a really old zaskar (now running discs!) that I can do quite lairy stuff on, but it takes 1/2 a hip flask of rum before i can blink, let alone release my death grip on the bars after really rough stuff or any airborne antics 8O.
