Finally got this back, bearing in mind it was a replacement frame for a 2005 Montare off warranty, well happy with the upgrade they gave me.
Been in the forest yesterday and few miles today,
really impressed with the pick-up on the alfine, even whilst track standing it feels engaged, then picks up quick. Good range but still big jump between 5/6 (only downside for me)
Quite a long machine which steers really well, and this set up the hayes nines bite well when braking at speed, previous set up they always felt too strong for the frame and forks, perhaps this 29er frame (paragon) with short head tubes they all got on now stabilises.
just need a bashguard to replace big ring, chainline wont go perfect on outer on this frame, but like I said, bonus bike.
