    Is it a 42" LCD TV?

    I've a 42" LCD as well and with all the garbage repeats on cable I keep yawning "God, I'm Bored, man!".

    That's a fantastic looking box.
    Have you got any plans for it?

    Getting one also, they're awesome bikes for the money, just waiting for my C2W vouchers to come through the post but no idea how long that'll take.

    Be interesting to know how much it actually weighs, website states 25.5lbs.

    Aye, can't wait to give it a crack.

    Well the box is free! I chose the box, as otherwise the bike would have been built by a lad that look suspiciously like this guy..

    Super nice looking bike, specially for the money! Bit of a change from the Commencal though! Tired of full suss?

    Be interested in knowing how you get know with the 2x10 SRAM gearing?
    Thinking of going in this direction when upgrading. I reckon its gunna overtake regular XC gearing in the future as it got the legs for both XC and downhill with the addition of a crank chain retainer. Best of both worlds.

    That and a few things... Commy was very nice but I was finding it hard to live with day to day.

    69deg head angle so its a bit slacker than last years and has a tad more travel.
    Should be a nice happy medium. I reckon it would be good for around 130mm travel.

    Hmm not bad, bit steep for my preference but not half bad, shouldn't nose dive on the steep stuff to so should be good fun all round :)

    and as you say can pump up the fork a bit later and it will slacken a bit more :)

    The combination of smoothed welds and heavily compressed pictures really make it look like a carbon frame.
