Seems to tick all the boxes for what i'm looking for - rigid with 1 ring up front, shimano.

Unfortunately they seem to be out of the 2014 model or I would have gone for that.
Is there anything similar for similar money? I've had a look but nothing seems to come close.
They certainly look the part in the flesh in Enduro Fluro Yello. Doubt you'll get much for £425 elsewhere either. I am not a fan of 29ers but I had a double take and went back to have another look
Looks really nice! I think that would be a solid bike. Not much to go wrong really. Price is great too.
Thanks for the input gents
Mate has the One
He's needed to change a lot of components as they fall-off, brake, leak, disappear
Otherwise good bike 🙂

I spend most of my time on my supermoto now so it's only really for firetracks and singletrack to keep fit to be honest so it's not gonna get abused particularly.
He's has seen only moderate trail use
I've just picked up a 2014 ramin 5 frame to build up into a 'fun' HT...will post pics when done but a nice looking frame, with dropper cable routing etc 🙂

I have a 2014 and 2015 so believe that makes me resident expert. 😆
Bonesetter, any specifics, did the warranty cover it etc?
Jameso; I'm looking at a 6 in April. Am I right in thinking the frames are double butted rather than triple now?
Also at 5'91/2" is a medium still what you'd recommend?
No changes in the frame tube specs, changes were the geo tweak for the longer fork and the 1x specific frame of the 6 being 5mm shorter at the back. Sizing.. Generally yes a M.
Cool; loving my four but looking forward to the six.
The four will still get hammered tho!
He bought the bike from Evans which is too far to get to when sorting out stuff.
When things started braking he contacted them, and Evans aid bring the bike in.
The first instance was a front brake seal busted. He ended up buying a SLX front
Then the KMC chain broke. We lashed it up and SS it back home which damaged the cassette
The plastic chainkeeper chewed up and then dropped off somewhwere
BB went (GXP which is pretty crap I know)
Bike was bought toward the end of this summer
Paint has come off quite easily
All that said, the geo is good, he has changed the bars for wider, seatpost for lay back, tyres for condition specific (all mainly out of my stock I have to say;) )and the bike rides well and he is really pleased with it
He knew the component parts were cheap and was prepared to upgrade them as they failed
Shame he couldn't get something like the brake replaced though. I'd expect that could be done by post and a chain keeper could be posted. MIP if needed anyway.
That's what I said - Evans wanted to see the whole back. Stupid, although I could see why
