[Closed] The biggest surprise and the biggest disappointment you've ridden..

Following on from the best bike thread, I was wondering what have been the biggest "ooh blimey" and " aww b@lls" moments on which bikes? My biggest surprise - 100mm forked voodoo wanga (nimble , fun, took rocks much better than it should , faster than mates bouncy bikes on rocky descents it seemed) My biggest let down - 6" travel Foes FXR with huge ti-coiled curnutt shock ( heavy, over damped and unresponsive shock (despite £200 rebuild) odd geometry, never gave more than 5" travel)

Surprise - Another vote for the Pompino. I bought my frame second hand off the classifieds here after I trashed my previous CX frame when falling off cornering too fast on a cattle grid. The Pompino's not dripping in bling components, but I did build it up slowly and chose what went on it carefully. And I love every single mile I ride on it.

Disappointment - Any time I borrow a fancy bike and have to give it back...
