Lolzers. Cheers, but that brick is making me dizzy. I live on a hill and couldn't be arsed to go far enough to find a slat wall in the sun.
It is a tiiiny bit small (maybe one size) in the seat tube which I found a bit surprising, I'm at full extension on a 400mm post, and it's just about up enough, but the reach is spot on, and I guess I don't want the saddle quite as high on an MTB as a road bike. I would raise it max 10mm possibly, but that might feel too high then. It certainly feels good for its intended purpose which is ragging around the local trails for a couple of hours at a time. If I get more into MTB I may look at changing it for something with a proper fit
The forks are 100mm (right for the frame) Rebas. Managed to get out for a quick ride yesterday and I love it. For £26 for the frame I can live with a bit of extra post.
