is the frame crap or something?

fox throughout and lx equiped full susser for under 1000.00, whats the catch?

Thanks guys for your response.

Has anybody ever owned one of these focus bike and are they new?

If these specs were on a trek or gt the bike it would be bout 1500.00 so i got to say amazing spec for 999.95

Thanks once again

and it does look great - Fox RL100 front fork and RP2 rear shock and Shimano XT!

I've ridden a few Focus bikes at the demo days in the summer and I can vouch that the build quality and value for £££ is unreal.

RASP my mate has a Cayo and i must admit its pretty cool... for a road bike...

Thanks dude

i got to admit this is the best looking bikes and also the best spec bike for 1000.00 i have come accross, the front shock alone is about £300.00 and rear is about 200.00 so thats 500 right their.

Will be buying soon, but need to get my cycle to work voucher, which can show up any day now, hopefully they dont sell out.

Hey guys

This company is the first ive seen to show full bike weights, which trek, giant, gt ect.. dont do.

They said bike is 12.7kg or 27lbs

is that good for full suss, as its only 1000.00 entry level?

Thanks once again for the advice.

Its not super light, but it's a lighter than a lott of the other bikes you'd get in this price bracket.

I may well consider a focus when I decide a new bike is in order. I just wish Wiggle weren't the sole UK stockist. I'd love to have a test on one.

going to buy one as cant beat spec and weight, and looks as well

one of the editors wanted me to send him a quick review, so will post on here bout the end of october.

If you buy it, and don't like the ride, just transplant the frame out at a later date. The spec is worth the money on it's own.
