Id have to ask are you 100% sure you want a full on 8″ bike?
Certain 🙂
Beginning to have some doubts about the YT to be honest. Although the componentry is bling, I seriously wonder how easy it would be to get some of it sorted out if it broke during a trip. WTF will have spares for E13 wheels or BOS in somewhere like Valnord? Also, there seems to be a lot of noise about the reliability of BOS. Then of course you part with your money in December and hope that the bike arrives in time for the summer. Really not 100% convinced any more.
Current thinking is something less bling and exclusive, something like this:
888 rc3 ti evo, rocco shock, currently on pinkbike @ £1700, good deal?
