    That's some serious suspension wizardry going on there. How's the RC3 Ti ride? I'm still looking into fork options for my Mythic Spitfire build.

    Cool bike. You gonna treat it to the Mega next year, or maybe the UK SuperEnduro?

    Still breaking in the RC£, but so far very smooth and adjustable. Liking it so far, glad I went for it.

    Planning on the Mega next year, and hopefully some other alpine riding round about it. Will see what else crops up.

    Nice bike I've also got a mega and was thinking of upgrading the shock to the ccdb where did you get yours from and how does it fit i.e. Hitting the frame

    Nice bike!

    What does it weigh overall, and how does it climb?

    CCDB clears the frame with no issues what so ever, still giving the 150mm its designed for.

    The Bombers on the front ar the 55 RC3 Ti, so 160mm travel up front which I think is about right, not felt the need for any more travel up front.

    Weight wise, not weighed it yet, don't have access to accurate scales so no point on wasting my time with cheapos. Rides and climbs very well though, still enjoying it immensely.

    Will get round to getting it weighed properly at some point, and posting it up on here.
