sadly its not mine, but its the missus new one so i got to choose it !
Commencal Normal
absolute bargaintastic at 400 quid, only thing that lets it down are the forks, even they arent the wors ive riden, other than that great spec mix of sram shimano, sdg, juicy 3s

my missus loves it a lot lighter than her old gt and got its first outing in glorious sunshine at the dyfi trails
she was faster on the ups and downs and got a new pb by overtaking 2 guys on a climb!

well to even it up i did the loop on my DH bike, that way we go about the same speed, apart from the descents of course and its good practice for the megavalanche!
