Might be bad form to just comment on a sales thread.
Coming from the world of downhill racing it used to be common to see dirt jumpers getting raced in hardtail cat, if you fancy trying DH and a bit of street/park riding thats not a bad place to start and could be adapated for gears ( i know SS mtb thread ;)
And the rear brake mount (click on the link above for other piccys) thats designed to keep the rear wheel and caliper centered, something a few other companies could have copied.
I had the old 2004 Spesh P3 alu, i used to slam the wheel forward for tight twisty techy tracks and drag it right back for less techy but ballsout fast tracks, but had to manually reset the caliper over the new axle position each time, because back brakes are ace when they actually work and hitting trees hurts :)
Could make a nice 4x racer as well, could build that up fairly cheaply.......
