I bought this off eBay a few weeks back, came with the forks too. 2011 5spot which is pristine. It had been in someone's garage since bought and not even built, so I feel like I've bagged a bargain! Most parts were off my old frame, just waiting on a reverb and tyres to arrive from Germany! Oh and for the raceface atlas pedals to come out in a few weeks.

Had my first ride on it this morning. It felt great, quick on the downs and not too slow on the ups. Looking forward to doing some better rides on it. Need to tweak the suspension a bit tho.

Great looking bike. I'm not usually wowed by anything other than steel hardtails, so you can take that as hard earned praise!

Thanks! I had my doubts as I'm just on the edge of the size chart for this but it feels just right. Very playful.

Looking good, don't normally like the look of 5spots too much but that's very nice. Must be the orange!

I can see how the colour might be a bit marmite but it does look amazing in the sun.

Little wheels ftw!
