Who has got one?

Lets see some pics please.

I had one. Does that count?

i would like one

What did you change to and why?

I'm debating getting rid of the jump bike and putting most of the bits onto a trail frame along the lines of the Alpine.

I have a 15/21" Mk1 in black, frame for sale. Loved it, will be buying another at some point in the future.

Grrr can't get to my pics at work 🙁

Freshly built. It's never looked like this since…

What did you change to and why?

I changed to this (yes I am a Dialled Bikes brand whore) :

…reason being I was just not riding the stuff the Alpine is built for, maybe 5-10% of the time. It was and is a smashing bike and if i could have afforded to keep it I would have. The fact I have now got a car and can drive to the gnarlcore kinda makes me wish I had kept it 😉

Loads on here from earlier…

Clicky Thingy

That is a lovely looking bike Jamie, what is the spec?

That pic alone may have swayed me towards one of those instead, as I have a Yeti 4X for the bigger stuff and am only going to be using it as a trail bike.

I use mine as My trail bike. It is great. It is à 16 but reguarly do 75 km rides on it. Just looks à bit silly with the Seat post right up. I like it better than the PA.

I'm the opposite Jamie – I have a Prince Albert but wish I'd gone for a Alpine. I'm in the North Lakes and I think an Alpine would be better suited to the descents around here. It's still a great bike though 😀

We should have swapped 8)

Works just great for trail use etc. Took it for its first proper run to Cannock this week. Chuffed.

Mike At Dialled is an ace guy 8) spent all week deliberating between the ALbert or Alpine. Loads of emails later decided and buying the Alpine 😛

I've never felt underbiked on UK descents on a Prince Albert. I've ridden mine down mountains, DH trails, uplift days the lot and its always been great. The only place I did feel slightly underbiked was in the alps and that was only because I was the only one of my group on a hardtail.

and again…

How fun is the descent just after that bench etc?! Probably my favourite bit of the new stuff, loads of opportunities to get air.

Bike looks awesome as well. I'd considered getting an Alpine to replace my Trailstar but maybe a PA would be better for me.

One of our staff has one. He tears about the place (the Alps!) pretty well on it. Obviously it's a bit slow/sore on the DH-type stuff, but he's pretty quick on the flowy singletrack and probably quicker than a big full-sus on the tight, nadgery stuff.

I do love that red colour. It never comes over well in photos – Geda's is the closest picture I've seen. Saw one at Aston Hill a couple of months ago, and was knocked out by it.

Loving my Alpine, and everything said about Mike is true, couldn't ask for better service.

@ doof, simply gorgeous photo!

Bit slow on this one…

i got one and it **** rocks….

been riding it (almost) soild for two months across the alps. fantastic bike.

who needs FS….?

despite the fact i've been riding lots and taking lots of photos over the past months, i don't have a pic of the Alpine in it's revised state…

Mine arrives early next week, so keep the photos and specs coming 8)

found a pic of me riding…. note the gold rim. (i destroyed the last one, although it did survive for 2 1/2 years, so not bad going)

first time Ive took a pic of it-

What size frame and height are you guys?

I think the 18" would be just too 'big' compared to my medium Blur4x (sizewise which I like)

Im 6ft n thick socks. Both my Hecklers were large and I ride an 18'' Alpine, straight post & 70mm stem.
