...AMR 5900, and am over the moon with it.

Its my first full sus, and something I obessed about for quite a while, but I'm so chuffed I finally took the plunge and the bike is a beaut.

Went for a blast in my local woods, and can't believe how much faster it is than my hardtail. I love my hardtail, but I can now fully appreciate why people buy full sussers. The bike just kind of glides over everything. Absolutely love it.

I can also see why people say full sussers give you more confidence. Felt like I could take on anything in the world yesterday.

Not sure about the Nobby Nics, they feel rather slidy, but I can live with that for the time being.

Bike's now living in the front room so I can just sit and look at it when I'm not riding.

Yours, very excited, from Essex.

    And that's the way it should be - take note woman! Gone is the coffee table and duly replaced with our steeds.
