    Can't see a problem with that.

    Thought you were going to show us something ugly.

    The Scott is the worst for me, looks like a supermarketspecial despite the fact that its US retail is $6,000! :shock:

    Agreed! Scott have seriously let themselves down with that - I bet it doesn't sell as well because of it too.

    Have to agree that the Scott is minging... the Mongooses are pretty rank too.

    I dont like the new SX Trail II either (below)... but the black to orange fade one has grown on me.

    What is it with Specialized and nasty brown saddles? :roll:

    dont really see anything wrong with any of them, just seems like you dont like full sus bikes
    !
    anyway to each their own.
    Enjoy the simple things in life

    I dunno, maybe I'm a hardtailaholic!? With most its simply bad graphics or paintjob. Though the very form of the Rocky Mountain is plain wrong!

    The shapes could be better but then again they have to come up with something that's recognisable and doesn't look like a competitor. Although, they don't have to look like a supermarket special.

    In terms of paint jobs I don't mind the first 3 i wouldn't buy them though because of this very fact but I love the sx trail.

    Do what you fear, you won\'t regret it.

    You are only as brave as your skill level.

    I actually want a full susser, but can't for the life of me decide what to buy!?

    i've seen that one in my local Evans and it was packed in the way way way back of the store because "it was scarying customers off" so says the staff :lol:
    That Rock mountain flatline looks worse though . Did they crash the thing into a tree before photoing it?

    dont you mean did they smash the frame with sledgehammers? :lol:
    the scott is quite nice but it will look a lot better in the flesh with shock mounts nd stuff.
    oranges are the best

    Is it just me or does the rocky mountain look like the type of thing you draw when you're really, really, really drunk?

    I don't really mind the rest of them though.
    I'd give my right hand to be ambi-dextrous
