Hi All,
Does anyone have any experience with Propain Bikes and in particular the Spindrift.
Any feedback on build quality, ride, suspension action much appreciated.
Toying with a frame only purchase to replace my Nomad Mk3...
Looks great on paper but many things often do.
cheers

I looked at it on my long list. Not ridden one but it is reputed to be on the soggier end of the pedalling spectrum. The linkage design analysis suggests this although other reviews (Dirt) say it is good enough to pedal back up (vs. a DH bike). I had it down as a very specific bike; not an all rounder; bike to satisfy coil-curiosity; bike that was cheap enough to take a chance.
These are the thoughts I went through in my long listing / short listing process and I ended up elsewhere.
Wouldn’t want to ride one all year round in the UK. The shock looks like its in the direct line for shit. The little plastick guard looks like an afterthought.
