    Why are MTB economics; spend twice as much as you intended, but only half as much as you wish you could afford? :roll:

    Sounds a bargain for £450, Sram bits and fork are already about £200 on their own.

    I think paulscycles has the 'super' at the moment for £540 which is bonkers for such a competant xc bike http://www.paulscycles.co.uk/products.p ... 1b2s2p1493 the 'comp' is under £370 :shock:

    It`s a real deal , the Super is a little bit better than the Amasa and for this price you can´t find another bike with same specs.
