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..

"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
