Awesome looking bike. Only gets a nine due to some of the components (I realise that not everyone can afford top end components but I'm a harsh scorer and save my 10s for top end specs - seems only fair to reserve that last mark for the ultimate machines). There's not many better frames though and a few component changes would easily turn it into a 10.

Fair enough dude, that's a well justified rating. Hopefully it will become a 10 when some of the components get upgraded over time :)

Quality frame, be worth a 10 if it wasn't running 888's and hayes brakes. They really don't do a frame like this justice to be honest.

Really like the frame, colour but i would have FOX 40s on it.

HagbardCeline replied... on 7 December 2009

In an ideal world it would have 40s or Boxxer World Cups on it. Actually if we're dreaming, let's go for a BOS fork. Sadly I don't live in a dream, 888s are a lot more affordable than other forks on the market and still offer very good performance...

liking the setup, I bet it will be fun to ride.

HagbardCeline replied... on 25 November 2009

It's fantastic to ride, but I'm sure it will end up making me go too fast for my own good lol
