    very nice 8)
    am seriously thinking of getting one of these. I will be going into on one when I am up in chesterfield in a couple of weeks as its only a little bit up the road and the price is currently great.
    so how does it ride? last time I asked you were still waiting on a couple of bits…

    wanna keep you silly remarks to yourself? I am not claiming anything – i wanted a blue face plate and top cap and listed it under its product name. I am aware that it is not a performance upgrade just (IMO) an aesthetic upgrade

    You went for the large then. I give it 6 months.

    Looking at the bikes you’ve had for ‘your riding’, which one do you just think “I should have kept that and have been done with it.”?

    I know, I know – I’m almost as bad with the bike swapping.

    Ah, the noble Prophet. Mine was my longest serving bike. Something like 4 years by the time I sold it. Current one is likely to beat that though – it’s ace.

    Stumpy Evo in case you were wondering.

    Yeah. I used a pig ugly Gravity Dropper to get over that, but it was ahead of it’s time in many respects, especially my MX version with the 12mm rear axle.

    Any road up, hope you enjoy the FTM and it stays in your garage for longer than 6 months. 😀

    So how’s it ride the?

    I could quite fancy one

    First ride today on it (and first MTB ride for 3 weeks) – it felt great! Up hill, very good – the steeper seat angle made climbing a lot easier (using a 34t single front ring also).

    I was initially worried that the 69 degree head angle would feel nervous on the downs but in all honesty the bike fits me well so this never even entered my head when actually riding.

    All in – enjoyed it and bike feels good. Only “criticism” is that the easton Havoc carbon bars feel too long and maybe i should have gone for Havens instead after all

    Hey Rob, really interested in one of theses. Couple of questions:

    I see you have a Joplin. Does the frame have internal cable routing for a dropper post?
    How did you get the frame for the price of the alu frame? Its £699 on webby now.

    is this the best value frame in its class right now? even at £700 it might be?
