    Fantastic bike at full price, outstanding for just over a grand.

    Did they ask your weight to ensure it came with the right spring? No problem if they didn't as long as your average weight and even if your not, for the amount you are saving, a new spring shouldn't be too painful.

    Probably, although you might be a bit light. You'll know when you try to set your sag though and you may even be able to get Paul's to do you a swap if you call and explain.

    I was looking into the same deal myself. Was thinking of using it as my downhill bike, maybe swap the forks over to some boxxers and put a chain device on it.

    that looks mint, how does it ride. I guess the frame is almost the same as the Glory DH.

    Think that has almost made up my mind to buy that bike, cheers for the link.

    Rides like a peach. Not sure if the geometry is quite like the DH in resepct to the head angle but it suites me fine.

    The travel is 8 inches compared to 8.8 for the DH by the way.
