Prefer the look of the other one you linked to in your 'what frame' thread if I am honest.....
Why is the headset on inside out?

Erm, no.
The bottom of the shock isn't connected to a chainstay extension for starters.
No ABP for main course.
And for dessert, it says FELT on the downtube, not TREK.

Nope - its not got a rear pivot so effectively a single pivot unlike the EX series - each to their own ๐Ÿ™‚

Edit: wot stumpy said! ๐Ÿ˜‰

I do like the LTD colours and I prefer the gloss finish to the 2011 models and also I think they have tweaked the pivots/bearings too ๐Ÿ™‚

The rest of the series colours I like less than the 2011 models TBH ๐Ÿ™‚

Tiz also 100mm travel not 120mm FYI ๐Ÿ™‚ although 100-120mm front end ๐Ÿ™‚

Also I presume the Trek comment is that its a copy of Trek colours/rocker - not sure that's a bad thing even if it is so?

Doesnt matter how the suspension works - it still looks like a Trek.

Besides I'd be more concerned about how it rode than creaming myself about what it looked like

Of course I don't care how it would ride as I am a very superficial person who only buys bling to show off to my mates ๐Ÿ™„ That's why I have a Kinesis and a Ribble Winter bike at home ๐Ÿ˜†

In other news:

"Some Whyte bikes look quite like some (old) Marin bikes"

"Scott Spark could have same Mother as Cannondale RZ120"

"Specialized Camber, Epic & Stumpjumper - shock in the same place shocker"

Sorry, I'm trying to get a job for The Sun writing headlines. ๐Ÿ™‚

Do I need to start up the "Are bikes starting to all look the same?" threads again?
