No, not even if I was given one.

For a penny under £1800, even more no.

Gary, has Michael Bonney got your family hostage or something? 😉

FWIW, I always thought the original MsIsle looked pretty capable under Steve Peat, but there are plenty of other bikes out there that can do the same job with a bit more finesse.

I'm just a sucker for anything made from folded sheets in Halifax (it's an illness, I know) and I am looking to swap my Genesis iO for something a little more... 'gnar'

I suspect I may have a prototype of this (bought it off the Bay a while back, 'twas advertised as a prototype Sub Zero though)

building it up with a Hammerschmidt front and Alfine rear... should be all together by the end of this month (fingers crossed 8) )

I'll stick with my MsIsle frame thanks. It's a asteful goldy/silver colour with Union Jack style graphics 😀
Not a fan of garish and mega bright/bold colours to be honest.

ddmonkey - I know what you mean. I know its difficult to accurately judge how a bike will ride from a photo but they are pretty sturdy.

Aren't 4X/jumpy bikes generally steel rather than aluminum because of the little bit of give they have but more specifically because they are easier to repair?

It looks like the old ms isle. I think the top tube looks a bit low. The proto one above looks sweet.

not.
even.
a.
little.
bit.

it's too big to be any good at the bmx track, it's too small to be any good anywhere else i might go.

i bet they sell hundreds of them.
