Ouch - I was hoping it was going to be a little cheaper. By far the most appealing carbon 29er ive seen though. Maybe wait till 2014 and hope and pray the old models are on discount (doesnt normally happen with turner though). The black one looks epic but that orange is growing on me. Time to start saving those pennies

I hate to say it - after only recently buying a 26er - but 29ers are looking more and more "normal" (and in this case very nice indeed) with every one I see

The only positive is that at least silverfish don't take the piss compared with some.
US Burner $2200
UK Burner £1700

Just need a 26" or 27.5". I've only got little legs and 29ers in my size look really stupid. Seems like 27.5" is gooing mental so I might be able to get somewhere near the clown wheels bandwagon.

Anyway, I agree, the czar looks lovely, but I've got a flux, so I'm probably a bit biased.

If the same ratio holds true for the czar, it would be £2300
Shame they couldn't find anyone in the US to make it. I have a lot of respect for the companies still trying to get things made in their own country.

The choice between a czar and a tallboyc would be a complete no-brainer if silverfish pull this off.

I want a red one, alu or carbon I'm not bothered tbh, it's the nicest looking Turner since the HL 5 Spot..
IMO...

I've always wanted a turner, but at the same time this happened:

I can't decide...

Sorry krypton, you've got to think about school and university funds, you're welcome to join the timeshare, maybe chuck your enigma into the fleet 😉

From a distance it's stunning. Up close it's a little bit melty. I think, on balance, I wouldn't kick it out of bed for getting crumbs on the duvet. Why would I have it in bed? Why wouldn't I?

😀 @ krypton. Going to enigma open day in may, to watch them craft beautiful objects out of Ti and Columbus? And hopefully test an ego.
