This arrived yesterday about a month early 
First ride tomorrow morning, just been round the carpark so far. Tubeless was a doddle - valves supplied with the rims. Shift's better than my Xtr equipped 5 Spot. The suspension feels Very plush.

Been waiting for over two months,so not long now
That looks the dogs!!! Very jealous you fancy a swop for book tokens and some socks???
Very nice DHD
Cheers guys.Got plenty of socks Ta. Need to get it Invisiframed but can't wait so hope its durable
Oooooh, niiiice!!!
Was wesriously chuffed with my 516 last December, that looks über trick!!
I like that. I also like the fact that it couldn't look more French unless it had onions hanging from it!
Holy shite that's nice
DHDave where did you get it from? Also did you get any offer on it at all?
OW, got it from Earnshaws in Huddersfield.Did a deal with a motorcycle,but it was a good price. I Don't think their website has been updated for the 2014 stuff yet
Like that a lot. Sort of reminds me of the Martini livery on a Lancia Stratos (?) maybe. Haven't Lapierre got a Gulf stylee paint job on one of the other models too? And I've not even started on the booze yet... Anyway - looks like it'll be a nice ride. Top Christmas present 🙂
Wow, that is noice man! Love the colour scheme.
That's the worst looking bike I have ever seen (I,m obviously lying and very jealous:),enjoy.
Where's all the HATE for 650B gone then 😉 Thanks for all the feedback guys. Saddles gonna come off for the time being/mudfest
Proper bike.
Now get it muddy 😀
BB, will post a dirty one for you tomorrow 😉 Sorry,obviously bike related
😆
Dirty bikes = smiling blokes 😉
What's to hate, Lapierre been making some of the best AM bikes since 2009, enjoy.
I've had my zesty AM fer about a month now (same frame for this year) and it's a beast. I put some pikes on the front, then point and shoot.
Looks nice as, will be interested in what you make of the EI as I didn't go fer it.
very nice
just had a quick online window shop ££££ 😯
blood, thought about a Zesty, but heard all the negatives about Fox 34's so decided on this.Would not be able to explain to Mrs Dhd about the need for new forks straight away anyway.From what I've heard the Ei is very good,will let you know
Its really bringing your garden alive
Sweet bike. Stems a bit long isn't it? Be interested to here what you think of the suspension.
Nice bike. Graphics aren't quite to my taste, but that's a personal thing. I'm still in the 26" 27.5" quandary before ordering new bikey.
That looks the shizz! Go rag the arse of it dude 8)
yeah, I took the fox's off straight away. Pikes are so much better!

Looks shite...Happy Christmas!
DIG
If Jazz from the Transfomers was a MTB...
JCL the stems 55mm which I think will be fine.Looks kinda long due to mount for the Ei controller.Will let the hive know what the suspension is like.

This is what it reminds me of 😉
Chunky,we are on the same train of thought
Great bike would like to hear your views on Ei?
1 x 11 is the way to go. I'm 2010 Zesty looking at 2014 AM Ei
What are the pedals?

55mm! The cool kids have been running 30mm for months 😉
JCL, not cool i'm afraid.Or young 🙁 My 5 Spot has a 70mm stem so seems a good compromise. Rickos, the pedals are Straitline Amps

They feel very nice under my five tens and weigh just 276g
That looks really nice and I especially like the colour scheme.
Bet it rides great, anytime, any place anywhere 😀
Are we showing our age a little there amplebrew 😉

Is the 80's that long ago?? 😉
Nice! Currently trying to decide between this and a bronson c, reckon whichever I go for it will be both the right and wrong decision...
DHD people don't hate 650b they hate the bullshit the marketing folk are spewing out to push them.
DHD must've been a good boy this year! Enjoy 🙂
Tomhoward same dilemma here although I would be going Zesty AM. Bronson might suit me better because it's short top tube and head tube. I run 50mm stem on Zesty and find its ideal for me. The geometry is very similar apart from that.
What is this hating you all speak of?
Tis the season to be jolly and peace to all.
Enjoy your bike.
If it turns out to be shit put it on classifieds and get something else
Very nice.
Colour scheme not totally to my liking, but still, very nice
Well first ride today,16 miles around Meltham and Holmfirth.Semi frozen ground so not too dirty. Absolutely blown away with it 😆 so stable and smooth.The Xx1 is so much better than the shimano on my 5 Spot. Totally the right decision to buy.The Pikes are butter smooth and The Ei sorts everything out at the back,no bob on the climbs off road or tarmac
Here's a semi dirty photo some of you wanted 😉
