They seem to be rare as hen's teeth!
NO ONE has one in stock to DEMO (in Large) so I need some visual encouragement to drop the coin on a "19 Race"...

This is my baby small one. I never demo'd one - thought it was steal at the price(!). Waited along time for it. Ordered Dec 08 arrived May 09

Try finding a local Trailquest type thingy. I did one at Cannock earlier this year and by far the commonest bikes were Whyte 19s. Couple of Whyte full sussers but loads of 19s. Mostly ally ones and a couple of Ti.

Did you buy the frame only? If so dare I ask how much?

Will have a sniff around, although I'm really looking to get myself sized up on a LArge Carbon frame.

I bought the frame only. 2009 price was £1150 which I know is not cheap but considering what Spesh and Trek where charging (especially Spesh) it seemed like a "no brainer"

I thought the cheaper of the two full build 2009 models was good value (XT spec) - but I already had the wheels, brakes, some of the XTR kit and finishing kit etc so frame only seemed a better option.

I found I needed a 410 mm post to get a sufficient level of seat post insertion and that only just seemed long enough- but I was probably being over cautious on how much post needed to be in the frame.

If your anywhere near Rutland your more than welcome to take my 09 Medium for a spin although i will only have it til my asr5 arrives in a few weeks.

You will struggle to find a demo bike at the moment none of the 2010 carbons have dropped yet (and the 09s sold out ages ago).

My 19 carbon[/url] - sorry for the camera phone pic, and the [url= http://www.crell.co.uk/?p=350 ]build details[/url]

My [url= ]19 alloy[/url]

Both great bikes. I'm really enjoying the Carbon though at the moment...though the double was a killer around Hayfield a couple of weeks ago.
