Like the green kit, not a common colour.

Sorry Rob2 I have no idea, hopefully I'll get a chance to weigh it next week so can report back then if you like.

(Edit) Pooley, I was rapidly running out of light to get a few pics, will attend to the hoses tomorrow

Bigbloke, it was quite tricky finding matching shades. The whole green thing came about because I found the Hope brakes with green bits which are a nice lime green, everything else is unfortunately a lot darker but I felt a quality frame deserved quality bits hence the Chris King stuff.

Head angle looks really steep!

^ That's what I thought! 71 degrees according to their website which is only 4 degrees steeper than my last hardtail. At least the stock photo looks a bit more 'normal'. Maybe the camera lens is screwing up the angles above, as the head tube looks steeper than the seat tube LOLWTF.

It doesn't look as steep in the flesh, so is just a camera thing I think.

Thanks for all the nice comments folks

Really interested in how it rides and the sizing. Do they come up small or large?

Looks nice, but a Cotic Soul is half the price and doesnt have a silly head angle
