    here is my AM being borrowed by a friend, it is set up as more of a FR lite setting 150mm front 140mm rear and 9 gears and a device on the front.
    about 14kg.

    general comment have it rides like a HT but eats the bumps. its easy to det the front up and can i buy it.

  • Sounds like it could be set up as something that could take the knocks yet still be rideable all day at a push (or not..forgive the pun).

    It's definitely on my list 8)

    Show us some pics when you get your frame built up and let us know how it rides.
    It looks absolutely amazing 8)

    Their prices seem very good,until I saw this thread I'd never heard of them but now they're a definite contender :D

    You've lined up the Schwalbe logo with the valves and you still call me a tart!

    there is a very very good reason for that.

    Ask anyone that races.
    I allows for easy tire inspection and thorn,nail etc removal after a puncture :roll:
