Apparently not Sam!!!

The new Issue of Dirt arrived through my door yesterday where they (Steve Jones) tests The RZ 140 and Zesty against some others. Might be worth a look. I think the common belief is that you won't go wrong with either really.

Lapierre issue is easily solved with a drill!

What's the price differences between them?
A small drill-bit would sort out the drain, not that I've ever felt the need for one.
C'dale, I now agree, have a complete cock running there slow ponderous (European based) warrenty dept.

Orange 5?

Even though I dont have one! ๐Ÿ˜‰

I have recently bought a zesty 314 and I love it, despite everyone telling me to get a 5 !
