BareNecessities-
Haha I'm going to have to show the grrl that. She can use that the next time I rip on her for her bike choice.
On the road I normally end up buying a colour I don't like - the Mason I wanted black, they didn't have any, the Kinesis was the worst of two terrible options (although I like it now), the Shiv was supposed to be black but the red one was the same frame for £2000 less.
SolarisMax is just not available though whereas there's Surlys and stuff for sells now at bike24 and I don't know enough about this shit to know whether to wait or just buy one thing, build it and see what happens when I point it up or down a mountain.
hippy
I'm still looking. I'm at the point in my life where I'll spend a little more to get something a bit sexier but I'm not exactly gonna push the boat out on this. I'm betting, unless something great appears before my eyes I'll end up with one of the Surlys (because shops actually have stock and I like the brand) or that Solaris Max from Cotic because I like the guy's youtube review, it gets rated on here and the orange looks sweet. Yeah, that's about all I've got in terms of MTB knowledge - which colour looks better - I've basically turned into my missus when it comes to picking bikes. :S
