In fairness, it does have:

- Fantastic accuracy and intuitive 3D agility

Which is nice.

intuitive 3D agility
I'm quite old - is that anything like cut & paste handling ?

Complete with the mbuk review of the 2008 version (I remember it because I bought one, very underrated bike) which that pile of crap certainly isn't

That "review" (MBUK?) relates to a later model too, spec doesn't match what he's selling.
Seem to recall the price for the top of the range Attack Trail was also more like £2500, although maybe the "3d agility" adds another grand?

Edit: Beaten to it!

Are the seals half way up the stantion or is it a boot?

September 2007 - Bikeradar review. That eBay bike doesn't look quite the same, though!

Looks like the 2002 vintage which was £1,799:

What does this mean;

"There's quite a lot of pedal feedback through the start of the stroke, but a lot less down deep. This means the bike really digs down and in when you apply power, but doesn't kick back hard when you really slam it."

That does appear to be the fork seal half way up the stantion doesn't it.
Right, I'm off to wash my eyes with bleach now.

I don't know but it's giving me a fizzy mini.
