Worth a punt? Bit cheaper on their ebay site. Seems a lot of lightness for the £££s

    Looks great value - unashamedley xc, so might be nervous handling.

    Check full spec though, I doubt is full xt.

    Fork: Rock Shox Reba RL (100mm Travel)
    Components: Shimano XT Dyna Sys 30spd, FSA Comet MegaExo Chainset, Easton EA70/Easton EA50 finish kit
    Wheels :Easton EA70 X (1600grams) and Kenda Slant Six tyres

    Update on this bike (and posted in another related thread about "Which £1k bike") ...

    Just to note that this was £779 until yesterday afternoon (18th July), and has jumped up £100 to £879.
    Rutland say "supply and demand" ... so if you want this bike it might be worth waiting a wee while to see if they drop the price again if it stops selling.
    Rutland are doing £50 off at the moment though (or they were when I checked ) - so it's current (real) price is £829. Could of had it for £729 yesterday if I'd be quicker though! Grrrrr.
