Now has Totems, Syncros 1.5 headset, Holzfeller stem. Pics soon.ilovedirt wrote:out of interest, how tall are you and how do you find the frame, size-wise and ride-wise? I may be purchasing one of these
I am 6ft, the frame is a Medium. I prefer larger bikes, and it suits me pretty well.
Ride wise, awesome
Good points, love the quad-link system, feels bottomles, bombproof, bearings last forever, looks good IMO. Bad points, hard to get to the rebound knob (if you're running a DHX) because of the swingarm. Quite heavy.
Go for it

AFAIK, it's only the effective top tube length that changes with frame size on the Quakes. The actual seat tube length remains the same. I think.0
