Because I never really wanted a full suspension bike until I saw this one. Then I test rode it, and had to have it.
If you're asking how I justified that, it has the perfect amount of travel, geometry I like, a compact suspension design that leaves lots of front triangle space, and I like the customer service you get when something is made by one basically one person in Scotland. I spent half a day riding with the builder, and I agree with pretty much all his thoughts on bicycle engineering and design.
It's also probably worked out a lot cheaper than an equivalently well-specced OTP bike, because I am a pro #buyer when it comes to mtb components. The only mass-produced bike that ticks my boxes is the new Giant Trance 29, and I'm pretty sure they ripped Adrian's design off...
Also steel is hawt shit, just look at it.

n00b question with my #buyer hat on, why did you chose steel vs mass produced alu/carbon?
