Check your inboxes if you are on the mailing list. The rest of you will have to wait.

It’s rather lovely 🙂

Loving the mercury finish

I’m on the mailing list. I got nada. 🙁

(Post up some pics, you buggers…)

Looks great 8)

Mercury looks stunning.

It’s rather long and rather shiny!

I’m on the mailing list (or so I thought) and also missing an email. 🙁
What colours does it come in? (please say black)

That is quite a pretty bike and I’m liking the new geometry.

Slight hijack: What’s happening about the Solaris?

It’s lovely isn’t it? I can’t believe they’ve made it a fatbike.

I do like the mercury colour too, and no jekkyl there is no black.

I think the new Solaris is next if Sam (demo man) is to be believed.

Looks good with the magenta

I like it… but the 148 backend and ISCG mounts take something away from its character for me. (Yes, that is completely irrational, it’s just a bike.)

It’s clever where they’ve hidden all of the batteries in the frame, is it still a steel frame though if its essentially just one big battery?

Didnt think they’d go down that route for such a small company

😆

Yes, the battery is cool.

Not sure about the integrated coffee machine and bacon sarny maker.

😯

I’m not convinced by the return to 27.2 seatpost and 1 1/8 headset!

Anybody want to buy a kidney or two? ‘Mercury’ looks good and finally it’s got ISCG tabs! Boost only though 🙁

9 x 3 speed only, nice.

Those canti mounts will be useful though.

Might have to get a ride on one.
Nice blue, but for me the colours peaked a few years ago with the gloss green and orange frames.

Press-fit bottom bracket, finally!

lol, these are all things which would make it more attractive to me. 😛
Someone stick a pic up .

It’s funny, of all the comments that one made me laugh most!

You are all horrible people. Especially the press-fit bloke. 🙂

Yup the trails really do come alive as if you sit down you get a massive shock to the testicles

Ah damn. I really want on of those.

Surprised they’ve gone carbon after all these years, but you can’t argue with the weight saving.

Shame it’s not black.
Might have finally defected from my late-Pre-CEN Soul if it was.

Shiney looks alright though.

Buster Gonad rides full sus – massive testicles to the shock.

… but seriously, anyone got a sneaky newsletter archive link? I just joined the mailing list, but presume i’ve missed this one now..

Launch vid here

Sweet jumps!

I shouldn’t break the embargo but I can let you know that they’ve been experimenting with new geometry.

I thought they’d have kept it under a grand but I suppose building that is always going to cost a lot ore than just steel tubes

Can someone post a pic or info for us mere mortals?

I rode my old Bfe for four years. I loved it but I was desperate to get back on full suspension. So I’ve spent a small fortune building one and I’m perfectly happy with it.

Then the new Bfe comes out and looks mint. I keep thinking of ways to justify building one.

Now this! Never wanted a Soul before, the Bfe was the right choice for me, but this one is stunning. Mercury and magenta please.

Gonna do some sums…..

Horrible colour choices 😳 I’m out 🙄
