Lime green grips FTW!

That frame had a protruding bit of weld inside the seattube which I have moaned about on another thread previously as it's not the only Turner I've had with this problem. I wrapped a broom handle with wet and dry and finished it myself so all should be good now.

Horst, bit big but still had lots of fun. Best being two weeks in Moab a few years back. Definitely the prettiest ones 🙂

My 11 year olds 5-Spot. But might be an RFX. Dunno, it's a custom size tho and ace.

Well, I bit the bullet and a black 2012 5-spot landed on my desk this morning. Got that bike-build feeling again. Woohoo! 😀

Absolutely loving my 5-spot!

I'm 5ft10 and bought a medium 2011 one. Had to sell it because it was too small. I'd say 5ft7 would be perfect on a Medium 5 spot.

First time round Laggan Black on mine today. What a bloody great bike 🙂 I have had it for a year now and i can honestly say i don't look at any other bike and wish for a change. Absolutely love mine.

5' 8" on a medium here. Wheelbase is slightly longer than I'm used to (normally ride a hardtail). I love the fact that I can stand up and stomp the pedals without suffering too much bob. Still getting used to riding full suss again after 8 years of hardtails.
