Actually had a quick blast last weekend, but I was still waiting for a few parts. Put the final bits on today.

Pretty light for 6 inch travel, but still rugged enough for my 13.5 Stone.

Its the new Titus El Guapo.

Agreed the gravity drooper is not the prettiest thing in the world (under statment), but it works fantasicaly well every time and is about the only bit I've transfered from my last bike.

Head angle is supposed to be 68, but I've not checked it. There is 2 positions for the shock and it makes it a deg slacker, but lowers the bottom bracket "a bit".

The weight is (not claimed or magazine weight) 29.5 lbs as it stands in medium. I borrowed some scales, and yes I know its sad, but I had to know. I went on some website were you put in all your parts and frame (fortunalty they sell mine) and it tells you how much it is goinfg to weigh and that said about 27, but as you would exspect it was out by good bit.

OMG. the forks cost more than my Whole bike. Hope they perform justifiably (cynical comment made through jealousy)
Nice bike.
