ha, yeah, 104mm BCD.
I've had success with it without a clutched mech, despite not really using it as intended: on a rigid, 8 speed cross bike with 38mm tyres with too much air in them I've lost the chain once descending over washboard roots. They're designed for 9/10 speed so the increased internal width of an 8 speed chain may have been the cause of that chain drop.
I'll let you know when it's available. Vectiox were pretty slow sending out this one so it might be a while.

I'm in no rush, I really don't use the bike enough but could probably make my £15 selling my chain device and saint ring, might be able to get away with a small top only guide until I find a cheap zee clutched derailleur and shifter to go with it.

I'm thinking about pushing the button on this in a L or XL. Any thoughts?

Why is it cheaper than this?
Cannondale F29 Carbon 3 Mountain Bike 2013
All of my bikes together probably cost this much so I'm understandably apprehensive about dropping 2 grand on a push bike, plus i've never bought a brand new bike before. Plus the paint job is a bit shit.

They've probably got a few of the 2s to shift so have knocked money off.
-
Best to sit on them if you're gonna be dropping that much dollar.

Nice drive round the M25.

For a crabon race bike I would only buy new. Frame warranty / amnestying is important, and CSG will only honor them on the original buyer.
The 2 strikes me as a better build than the 3, so no idea why it's cheaper. There's little I'd change on the 2.
I'd try and compare stack and reach against another bike that you know fits. As before, the F29s are XC race machines that will put you in an aggressive position & the Lefty OPI stems can be changed but it's pricey to do so compared to normal ahead setups - it's not a bike that's easy to make fit if the frame size is out.
£1999 for that bike seems like a great price. For what it's worth, hybrid leftys retail around the £900 mark and CSG will charge you a fortune for the frame. Wheels, group and finishing kit are essentially free.
Pls race it.

This sounded promising, although there has been some rain since.
the trails are bloody lovely. even a bit dusty in places right now.
As for this.
The British Isles never really dries I suspect.
