Pretty basic spec??
i thought the same, i live in Austria so i mainly do faster steeper bits so i need a freeride/dh bike... any ideas then? need a fork about 180mm

need 180mm? really? If you just want, then fair enough, but need? Personally, i'm moving towards lower travel. Loving the Kona Bass at the moment. If you're only going down then SS for ease of maintenance 4inch front and back and its shiny (oh so shiny). But thats just me.
Or get an Orange.
bottom bracket area looks a tad "busy". For 1800 sobs i would want something more aesthetically pleasing.
What about this???
You could by a full SLX groupset from Merlin to bung on it??
Ok, so it's [i]Only[/i] 160mm of bounce.....
this would be much better and £600 less....

I just paid 1800 for a used trek session 88 bike with full saint, deemax wheels, fox 40's etc in mint condition with very little use. I'd go second hand all the way.
You can pick up brand new 09 stinky deluxes for around 1800. Otherwise I saw a sunday with totems for about 2000 somewhere.
I hear that the pinnr is an allright bike but there are better deals around.
