Nice bike. The standard spec seems to have improved since the 2008 models with SLX rather than Truvative chainset etc. It's 150mm travel now too isn't it? You may have some problems when it comes to getting the bearing in the rear suss replaced. Finding a shop with experience of the Equilink system is near impossible. Look out for squeaking and slight play in the lowest main pivot point. Mine needed attention after about 12 months heavy-ish use. Got any mods planned?
Thank's for the info about the rear suspension, Ye it about 150mm travel, I've got some mods planned like a different rear shock, shorter stem and some better brakes but apart from that it's a pretty good all round bike.
