I have just bought this new from my LBS it had been hanging there for a little while. It's a 2013 (current) Labyrinth Agile frame. It was missing the dropouts and shock as they had been used on another customers bike.
I have just bought a whole set of dropouts from Labyrinth in France and plan to use my RP23 off my current frame. All in all it should owe me under £500.00. Not bad for a £1600 rrp
I think it was a bargain at it's sale price but just wondered what people thought?
Have you any opinions on the frame/bike? I'm coming from a Meta 6 (09) with a Gravity orientated set up- I do climb but slowly, the downs are my thing.

Cheers all!
Its light isn't it? thought it'd be better at going up than down, although can't imagine its a slouch going down.
So you don't want to sell?
I rode an agile on an extended demo (put about 10 hours on it) a couple years back and I really liked it.
It did have a degree slackset on it and Bos (with matched rear shock) 160mm forks which gave it a 66 HA.
I found it a pretty decent climber (although with the slackset it had a tendency to feel like it was going to wheel flop), and (bizarrely for me) found great in the air, handled nice and did what I wanted it too. I didn't push it though, mostly it was ridden in wooded singletrack. My only real gripe was the seat tube angle, but I'd've got used to it.
It was a toss up between the agile and the rocket. It was right around Bos changing distributors and that as much as anything put me off (oh, and being a Cotic fanboi....)
Here's a photo of the demo at the top of an hours grannie gear climb....

Thanks for the posts guys.
My meta has morphed into a bit too much of a decender anyway to be honest. So something that is a proper all rounder would be good. I already have a DH bike for the steep stuff.
Thanks for your experiences of the Agile- it does sound pretty good from all the sources I've found. I can't find anyone in the UK who does them but dealing direct was seamless and stress free. I actually had a response to my enquiry about dropouts at 9am after my email the evening before. I have been told my parts will arrive within 48h which is good.
I may well seek a 44mm slack set for it if I decide it needs it. For now I have a normal flush fit one. I'm going to run the Rp23 and a set of brand new Suntour Durolux RC2's at 160mm
I AM ALWAYS open to an offer if you were interested. I shouldn't really have bought it bearing in mind it's xmas and the wife and I are expecting but I just couldn't help it!
Cheers all
R53 Sport was the uk distributor back then (they also were Bos at the time).

Thanks Metalheart.
I have spoken to George at R53 who was most helpful. While they have some bits knocking about they didn't have the dropouts unfortunately.
Thanks again
Wouldn't buy without having demo the real thing.
Pawsy- I almost never demo bikes first. I generally go for boutique or obscure brands so often can't find one to try. As long as the geometry and the suspension design looks good I normally take the plunge. Things don't leach cash if you look after them anyway, so if I don't get on with it I'll sell and buy something else.
Cheers!
