stevethebarbarian, any2wheels bike looks even better in the flesh, made mine look very sad and tired the other weekend…

Brilliant buy. Same as on my Soul – got those from US for £300. Didn’t think I’d use talas feature, now I don’t want none adjustable forks again. Damned if I know when to use the compression feature though. Your bike’s looking great.

and mine, i like the red tyres, so some don’t!!!

Still amazed that we’ve not seen many new style Stumpys with the vertical shock. Are STW forumites to “cool” for those?

or just too tight to buy one

SeanOrange – size, price and pics if you can.

There’s one thing, everyone seems to be enjoying them.

Brand new 09 ‘Expert’, picked up yesterday

Here’s a later model one on a STW Forum Calderdale ride back in September last year.

and somewhere in the Dales ….

Whoops, pic didn’t work. Try again…
09 FSR XC:

the thing is, they do everything you need a bike to do, done a few races over Beastway and Summitt MTB in the chilterns, admittedly not very fast, my local tracks around Essex and with the addition of DH High Rollers, 200mm discs, spent 5 days in Les Gets, a very good all rounder.
