    thats a bargain ride you have there.
    I love the 29er evolution and i love the reaction when people notice its a 29er, everyone has an opinion on them too.
    Like the Cubes looks overall, colours etc, but never liked the rear suspension design (never ridden one, purely astetics)

    Now get out on it and show your mates how much faster you are now :wink:

    Out of interest - are all the stickers under the clear coat? or can you strip some off to give it a more "reserved" look?

    So, I hit the Dalby Forest red route last Saturday and the bike felf perfect. The 29ers just rolled over the big stuff and I was climbing and jumping stuff that i'd struggled with in the past. I would say that value for money is exceptional and wouldnt hesitate to recommend this bike to anybody. Get one......NOW!! :D
