How tall/long are you?

I'm selling a 15/21"TT Alpine. Very versatile (if it fits you). can run anything upto 160mm..... similar to the Bfe, i think.

I bought an Altitude 30 and I am really happy with it.

It's a great frame with the excellent Reba fork.

Just got a Handjob a few weeks back and transferred all the bits off my Meta 5. Thus far it has proven to be quicker and more capable in almost every situation. This may or may not be related to it actually fitting me rather than being aimed at a 4 year old, which the size of Commencal my LBS recommended to me was.

i dunno? are you going to tell us? is it better in bed? can the soul pat it's head while rubbing it's tummy for longer than a p7?

P7 is nice enough but really too expensive for what you get, I reckon, if it had an On One sticker on it it'd cost half as much.

I love my Soul, but the OP asked about 140mm forks, which is more than it's recommended for... A Soul with 100-130mm Revs makes for a blinding bike but maybe not what's been asked for here.

I'd be looking at a PA or maybe a Blue Pig myself. And that's from a total Cotic fanboy 😉

Nice cats.

Seen a few of the new P7s out on the trails around here, and they look lovely.

I'd go BFe though, but then again I'm biased.
