    I had one of these for awhile im 5-8 the normal one was fine i would say tho get the xl as your taller. They are good for the price we did a bivvy on the berwyns with a micro tarp over our heads. Now i use a terra nova laser the benefits of a tent and it packs down to nothing!! A bivvy is great as long as the bloody midges arent about…

    Maria, yes that was me. I think I managed to take the pic before one of you went flying. That rocky section is pretty hard going at the best of times. I’d love to see someone ride it clean. Post on here once you’ve done Italy I’d be interested to see what It’s like for future reference.

I can say i wont be buying CK again buying into there rep?? Hmmm ive got a hope xc rear hub which ive never had to service or touch its 9yrs old and still top notch so ill be using that one again by the looks of things – Thanks CK
