Cy, it's Freedom Bikes in Brighton. They just happened to have the right size and colour in stock when I called them with fork frustrations... I'm pleasantly surprised how chilled out the handling is with 100mm forks - maybe I've spent too many years riding a Brompton!
All you other orange Soulites, your forks may be longer but my tyres is MOAR LARGE!!! 😉
ooh, I'm in Brighton. Can I steal your doors for my beach hut?
Start a facebook page for those doors, I'll become a fan.
I was running mine on Nokian NBX 2.3s at first but switched to some Medusa 2.1s for the muddy winter. It feels a lot more lively up hill!
Other bits include XT drivetrain, Hope X2s, Hope Hoops with Crests, Hope seatpost and stem and carbon monkeylight XC bars.
Love it!
Coolio. Nice to hear the Freedom lads are looking after you.
Rode it for the first time today, ankle didn't break. Bit of a twinge on landing after a small hop off a speed hump. Hoping to take it on a proper (but gentle) ride on Saturday.
Out on its first proper ride:

Am riding it slowly and carefully at the moment (can't risk falling off and can't take even small drops (8"+) on the ankle) but it feels nice. Gravity Dropper seatpost is absolutely bloody marvellous! Clearly will only know the truth about the ride/handling once I'm back to my normal level of radness...
