    Do like the look of the remedy 8. I am a lucky owner of a remedy 9 would have loved it if it came in root beer. How do you find it?

    Coming from a Boardman Comp FS I had to adjust my riding style a tad. I was all over the place in the first proper bit of DH I tackled. After some compression fettling is was tremendous.

    The Lyrik 2 step is a dream and I love the elevated feel on the downhill with the forks set at the most travel.

    Seat post was a bit fiddly and kept slipping so after I sorted out the collar it was fine.

    Brakes are very progressive with pretty big rotors. Loving the pro-pedal too.

    Most of all I love the Miami Vice style 80's white colour. Very striking indeed.....

    I had my reservations about an All Mountain bike but it climbs like a goat. More so if you jack the forks down to get over the front wheel

    I have been a hardtail man since the 1992 or so but since getting the Boardman on a cycle2work scheme I am a firm believer in full suss...

    But alas.......more speed = more bleed !

    Very nice looking ride there, any idea how much it weighs? looks fairly light for a hard hitting all mountain machine :)
