    Thoughts please

    I’d be gaffer taping over the name on the frame as it sounds like the child of a non-alcohol beer based beverage and a clothing brand fan.

    It’s had good reviews in a couple of places.

    What’s better for that sort of cash? Norco fluid?

    Giving Rose a run for their money in the WTF bike name stakes.

    Looks like a cracker though, if that’s the kind of bike you’re after.

    Main competition at £1k would be a secondhand 26in bike IMO.

    Can’t find much else for the cash

    Looks crap though.

    I can’t say that it does. Looks amazing for the money. I suspect in the flesh it will look even better. Thought it would weigh a lot more too.

    Tempted to buy this as a winter FS.. Solid kit and the pivot bearings will probably be generic. They’re offering it on the C2W scheme too.

    An absolute steal. They had to give it a terrible name so that we’d have something to complain about.

    Looks better spec than the Boardman Team FS for same money and similar weight.
    I had the old 26″ version of the Boardman and ended up swaping out a fair bit of drivetrain and finishing kit

    Looks crap though.

    That photo’s of a large frame with small wheels, it’s never been a good-looking combo regardless of the sticker on the downtube.

    It’s more or less why they invented 29ers…

    The name’ll get covered in mud on any ride from this weekend onwards.

    Bike snobs won’t give it a second glance as it’s well below the £3000 floor value of bikes to glance at?

    you could probably get a vintage (2003) Orange Sub 5 with Revelations, 5th element coil, and Hope Mono M4s for that kind of cash. Though I might be breaking it up into its parts in the next few days.

    Hmm, the websites being odd.
    No way to select any other frame sizes and defaults on 21”.
    I think I’m going to pop to the local store and see if I can have a bounce.
    With C2W that’s around £800.

    Tubeless ready rims!!! Looks a hell of a deal, maybe a little lacking in reach though?!
