Too many choices.
I'm still very much liking the El Guapo but still thinking it's too much bike for what I ride 80% of the time (trail centre, local rides etc)

Also in stock again today - and down the £599 - http://www.on-one.co.uk/i/q/FRTITFTMCARRS/titus_ftm_carbon_frame_and_monarch_shock
A bit less on the rear travel but looks more like the middle of the road bike for me i think! But not a huge fan of the looks!
Any thoughts?
Should have said - i've be running 150 Rev's as I don;t want to be changing my forks if I can help it and not sure that the FTM is best suited to 150, says more 140 forks

Both are extremely nice bikes. I love the El Guapo so that's where I'd drop my cash if I was going full Suss. But the FTM is less aggro so is likely to suit your needs better. It's a cracking looking frame though. You can get the Revs spaced down to 140mm easily enough.
Go for it!Family, Friends, Fantastic trails - what else is there

yeah - i was all set on the el gaupo but with the FTM carbon down at £599 it looks like a no brainer.
The El Gaupo is too much bike for me for most of my riding and going from a c456 hardtail the FTM looks my best bet. I don't doubt that the FTM will be still too much bike for me but at £599 for that frame it's a no brainer really!!0
