Im thinking of ugrading my trusty Norco six frame to something a bit more refined and posibly a tad lighter. I will be buying second hand and have been looking for a while at the intense 6.6. Iv also started looking at the Mondraker Dune though and cant make my mind up - I cant find many reviews of this bike so does anyone have any experience. Iv heard the 2011 frame suffered from pedal bob which would put me off - did this get fixed for 2012?

The 2011 didn't bob any worse than most other bikes IME. The 2012 rides the same.

It's a good bike and it is lovely and light.

Hmm, quite mixed. Perhaps il just stick with what I have and spend the money reroofing the garage. God that sounds sensible, must be getting old....

I have one. I'd buy another. Bolt through rear though as I can make the tyres rub on my QR one whilst cornering. Not an issue but I don't like hearing it.
