I started asking myself the question "[i]Why, O why don't I have a 2Souls Quarterhorse?[/i]"

The answer is of course "[i]because I have a Chromag Samurai65 instead[/i]", but it still feels like a legitimate question.

Excellent work all round. ๐Ÿ™‚

Why does nobody notice THE GIANT HOLE in the seat tube?

Where's the review Alan?

Sorry for the delay....

The bike is awesome!

It's definitely no light weight - 30 lbs to be precise ๐Ÿ˜ฏ but......

I can't say I really noticed the extra 3 lbs over the Solaris on the way up, it really feels stable & planted on the way down, which is nice.

Even though the frame is very chunky compared to the Solaris, i still felt a bit of 'springyness' in the back end.

When I cut the fork steerer, I left enough for 20mm above & 20mm below the stem.

Ever after the one ride on Saturday I feel the front a bit high, so gonna reduce it to 10mm below, see how it goes.

Due to the extra weight, I've decided to run a Hope T-Rex, which should be up & running for a trip to Glentress on the 21st - can't wait for a bit of speed on the way down! ๐Ÿ˜†

got to remember its a totally different animal to a Solaris, and far more capable

True.

The way it rides fits nicely between the SC Nomad i had and the Solaris - Best of both worlds!

๐Ÿ˜†

Can't wait to ride it at Glentress for speed & Laggan for the Gnarr!

Doesn't the really slack seat angle mean it's difficult to keep the front down on a climb?
Great looking bikes - but just a tad too spendy

Beside which, I love my Solaris!
