    I have a slightly different one, think its a TA26 or summat, havn't got it next to me. Rides realy well with a stupidly tight rear triangle, Weighs half a ton though especially with a cheap build. Sorry, havn't got a side photo of it.

    Hey thats cool, i think it's the frame they brought out after mine.
    Not sure of the weight of mine, i'll have to see if i can find some scales. It's certainly no lightweight but then i'm a big lad (15.5 stone)!

    I've had the frame for about 10 years and just gradually upgraded components as they stopped working.
    I tends to plough through stuff rather than float over the top!

    My next upgrade hopefully will be a dropper seatpost, but the frame is 30.0mm. Which is an awkward size!
    So i would need a 27.2mm one, can anyone rcommend a dropper at this size?

    Grav dropper? KS do one that size too IIRC. Of them I've only had experience with the gravity dropper in the past on someone elses bike, seemed to work well enough with just little bit of play, apparently was easy maintain, it sprung back up very quickly though :shock:

    If in doubt, blame Wiggle.

    Thanks for the info, i've heard the Gravity dropper is more easily maintained, which i like the sound of!
    It would be nice to hear from anyone who has had experience of the KS one.
