Hi guys, thinking of changing my bike in a few months time and I'm seriously considering one of these , anyone got one ? What are they like ?
Cheers

FWIW They got a terrible review in MBUK a few months ago. Something to do with poor suspension.
There is a review [url= http://www.bikeradar.com/gear/category/bikes/mountain/product/review-rose-granite-chief-8-11-41806 ]here[/url] which I would imagine is the MBUK one as it is Bikeradar.
Don't have any idea about the bike myself, but the 'JPS' colour scheme looks cool.
The lads owned by the Triscombe uplift guy ride rose bikes, theirs are still in one piece after a season of thrashing, they are both superfast DHers. Bargain good bikes I think.
Here they are ripping on rose bikes. Having tried miserably to follow 14 year old Joel on a few occasions, he is fast..

Thanks for the replies guys, anyone actually own one that can give me more info ?
"Something to do with poor suspension"
IIRC Singletrack mag reviewed one not so long ago. I think they also commented on the Boost Vavled Fox Shock being a bit trapdoory, letting go part way throgh the stroke/travel as it were. Not that they wrote the bike off or anything
