The wheels are top priority to be replaced with Hope Pro2 Evo's Just need to save some money. Also would like to do a matching xt groupset on it eventually.

    Lovely bikes, I had one for 6 months when they first came out, and loved it, but missed FS too much, so traded it in :)

    The only thing I don't like are the Oury grips, I tried a set, and didn't get on with them. The frame is a brilliant bit of kit though, bombproof. Nice build you've got too, enjoy it!

    Nice.. +1 for a bit more colour.

    Everyone seems to want Hope Pro2's, but there's a few good alternatives around. On-One's new MAX wheels look good, come it at nice weights and colour combos. Could be worth looking at, and Spinergy Enduro looks unique, good prices on ebay.

    @Stav, I can't believe you wanted to go back to full susser after one of these, they're so good to ride, but I guess depends on what trails you're riding too. I also couldn't get on with the Oury grips - haven't seen one of these yet where the owner kept the Ourys!

    DC, I would have loved to have kept hold of it, but I have a bit of a gammy back, so found the hardtail, although the frame did eliminate some of the problems, didn't do me any favours :(

    Trust me, I'd have kept it if I could justify it, but being honest, it would probably sit in my shed as my spare bike, as the susser would be used more often.

    Not knocking the bike at all, it was superb, snappy and super quick, but just not quite suited for my riding style and my dodgy back!! :D

    Still lovely to look at though!!

    I do find the grips a little squidgy, but what do people rate as good grips then as i'm really not fussy about them tbh... would like some lock on ones

    I've had superstar grips for ages, very happy with them!

    Charge Sponge Handlebar Grips - lock on very well and solid
