They say you can't buy happiness, well you can and it's about 900 quid. First MTB in ages and this just puts a huge grin on my face. Planning a longer stem and some comfier grips but other than that I'm happy to wait for stuff to wear out until serious upgrading starts. Gets a 10 only cos it's mine, but it's not totally perfect.

Looks awesome, my ol man is thinking of getting one of these.

Cheers. Tell your Dad to get one, the prices are superb and I reckon this is some of the best money I've ever spent.

think some super monster T's would help with the "front end being quite high" lol

I always see these on Merlin cycles.
They look good, what they like to ride?

Good as a do it all bike but, it's got quite a short top tube, I'm more of a stretched out XC fan, it does look gorgeous though, I love chrome bikes. Wish I'd got an 80mm fork as the front end is quite high so I'm running a lot of sag, the short frame is quite similar to a BMX which I'm used to, so it is really easy to hold a manual and the whole package is very stiff. Would certainly recommend them, they are great value.
