Looking for a full suss under £2000 with good specs and nice style, found the fritzz pro and really like it as it has the PIKE and it looks cool (I know some people dont go on looks but I do 
)
Has anyone ridden this bike or even have it? worth the money or is there better ones out there that im just not looking at?
Cheers!!!

very nice spec but the frame lets it down
not sure this will suit my aggressive riding style, cheers 0 -
What's wrong with the frame?Cube Analog 2012 with various upgrades.0

looks sketchy, like somthing youd get from halfords0

If you'd gone pro you would have a load of free bikes to choose from by now.0

These are really good

Doesn't have the massively over hyped Pike but still a great build. Pikes are very good but its not a huge step up from other high end forks and I still think the Marzocchi 55 rc3 ti evo is much better damped.
I don't really like Cubes rear suspension, typical German design which is very linear and blows through the travel too fast.Transition Patrol - viewtopic.php?f=10017&t=130702350 -
Having had a ride on an El Guapo I can confirm it is plenty aggressive and the frame is spot on. I'd have one in a heartbeat.0

pike is only over hyped if you read too much into forums (yes I can see the irony) - The pike is a good fork, light and tunable and cheap. There currently isn't a better 150/160mm fork on the market at the moment.
going through the travel means the shock is not tuned properly for bike and rider - not got any issue like that with my horst link.0 -
Thought about a custom build?
Worked out £400 cheaper for me0 -

Spec it to your budget
Get a second hand frame, there's a lot on pinkbike
SLX groupset £300ish
Good wheelset £300
Even if the frame was £700 that still give you a decent amount for the rest
Just an idea, I have never built a bike before but have done so this time, specing it myself and sourcing the parts, £25 for a basic tool kit, YouTube tutorials.. Strangely satisfying
Bought several second hand parts off the classified section on here, great service from everyone0 -
I wouldn't buy a used frame. I know what sort of life my frames have before I sell them.
There are some bargain new frames. Not sure if they still have any but my Nukeproof Mega frame was only £800 including shock.Transition Patrol - viewtopic.php?f=10017&t=130702350 -
