Got a 2009 Motolite in anodised grey. Fab bike. Makes you want to go out and ride whatever the weather.
Doing the Passportes in June, can't wait.
Sshockwave in Nottingham have a couple of 2010 frames in at the moment. Speak to Andy or Alex, they will answer any questions you have.

Mine is for sale if you are after one. Great bike only selling because I have gone back to a hardtail.

I bought a frame second hand last year. It's good, nice and stiff so corners very well and there's loads and loads of traction when climbing. It's pretty xc, head angle is quite steep although the forks I've been running are quite short axle to crown. Got some Rockshox revelations to go on though so should slacken it off a wee bit.

I've had mine for 18 months and love it. Doesn't get the use it deserves really. Adjustable travel forks suit it best as I find anything over 120mm makes is wander when climbing. Got mine from Sshockwave too.

I bought a frame secondhand last year as well, but haven't got around to building it up yet, so can't offer any comments about the ride.
It is a really nice green colour though- shame the paint seems to be rather thin.
Previous owner made this rather nice wee video [url= http://www.youtube.com/user/kbrembo#p/a/u/1/KAwBTcRfDqY ]http://www.youtube.com/user/kbrembo#p/a/u/1/KAwBTcRfDqY[/url] which kind of helped sell me the frame - buying into the lifestyle etc etc.

bought a titanium one about 18 months ago....awesome bikes but you should consider it a long travel XC machine and not a short travel AM machine if that makes any sense. Only even run it in 5" mode with a 120mm Reba team fork up front. Definitely benefitted from a short stem (I use a 50mm Thomson) and wider bars (711mm Monkeylite DHs). Think its perfect setup like that TBH.

Vince if that was the green one with gold bits on it in the classifids a while back you got a fantastic bargain!

Had mine a year now. Really like it, but not massive use as only ride it on trips away from South East to Wales / Lakes / abroad. Still not had similar travel bike to compare it with. It is certainly more capable than I am though!

Have only just switched from a 90mm to 70mm stem and so still evaluating that.

I test rode the 6 el guapo and was very different to my spicy.

Better suited to the UK i though as it was smaller shorter and a bit nimbler...so i guess the motolite is similar

Also a girl I know (we call her crazy jo who as an ex pro windsurfer) she does 10 ft drop offs huge jumps etc.. on it with no problems.

If you are near surrey call nirvana i think they have one to test
