Just want it to be known how much I fucking love this bike. Just done a few hours at Swinley on the red, blue and some off-piste stuff and I can't get over how nicely this thing rides. Completely budget build, but it flies uphill and on the flat, and it's almost as fast as my old Ragley on the downhills. Not to get all zen and spiritual, but I'm loving riding rigid again with all that 'connected to the trail' bollocks, the bigger wheels are so much pleasant without sus than 26'' was.
