Here's one of the nicer looking modern MTBs. Who doesn't love a bit of neon pistachio?

Nice bike, even in snot green 😀

I’d like to upgrade the brakes

I think that would be a worthwhile upgrade.  I found the G2 RSC brakes almost ok but nothing more

Very nice! If I had space for another bike then I'd love a Stumpy.

We need a proper driveside photo though. That should be one of the rules of submission @Ben_Haworth

@citizenlee - whilst it's not a rule, we do say "The better your pictures the more likely we are to feature your bike"

That's a gorgeous bike, and has me instantly looking online to see if I could afford/ justify one...

Nice bike OP - I’ve had my comp version years and still love it. Re the rear suspension, the advice I remember from the mtbr forum when I first got mine was your weight in pounds plus 20-30 to get your psi. I must admit I always just sort mine by feel these days but seem to remember the above advice was about right.

I’ve got the comp, great bike. 
I did upgrade the brakes to Hope due to preference tbh. I also fitted narrower bars. 
Shame they don’t make these any more. I’d go for the stumpie 15 if I needed a replacement

I wrote a long comment on this article on the original page only for it to disappear when I clicked post with a message saying that "comments were closed".

FFS STW if the comments are closed on a page don't allow people to write something in the first place. No, I can't be arsed to write it again.
