after months contemplating a new race bike i've eventually splashed out. Will make a few lighter upgrades over the months but until then i will enjoy it. Help with the racing as well i hope

prob trim the front brake cable about 30mm, the other cables are fine though, a bit compact but run quite smooth

possibly, though i think i prefer the longer events more. AN hour and a half in the saddle may not be enough for me. Its a warm up on the road bike 😉

think the stumpy will make a big difference,just make sure that when the bars twist round the brake levers etc clear the top tube,know of 2 frames that have bit the dust in this way.one was after 2 races,thats only 3 hours of riding.

FFS Duggie you could have suggested a Karpiel Armageddon instead!

Very nice Radoggair, but does it meet the trail centre minimum 6" travel requirement?
