    Really well, not going to go down the usual 'steel is great' route, but the bike takes twisty single track and trails in it's stride, quite a steep head angle compared to my usual bikes but it's superb.

    Hard work on some climbs though :wink:

    Really nice bike. I was interested in this when reviewed in MBR recently. Sounded excellent. If I was going to buy a hardtail it would be one of these ......... then again my next rebuild project could be something similar with one of those 8-speed Shimano hubs :D ('only joking', he quickly added as his wife read what he was typing :roll:)
