Seems like an incredible deal. I can't find many reviews though.
I'd really like to know what it weighs? Someone mentioned that serviceability of the shock could be an issue?
I've been getting battered on my hardtail lately so I think 140 travel will be plenty.
Does anything match these bikes for value?
Please don't buy it on me lol
If I get a couple of people saying is a good idea I'm buying tonight.
Thanks for any help
Dan

    Do a search. There are a few recent threads about this bike answering your questions.
  • Tried that thanks. All I found was that the shock is fine. I'm not worried about it breaking. More about looking after it.
    The spec seems to be the best at £1000. Just worried I'm missing something. I've seem plenty complaints on the fox float fork but surely that's when comparing it to £2000 bikes? Lots of the £1000 pound bikes are using suntour
    I had no luck finding details on weight.
  • I pulled the trigger and bought a medium trigger.
    I found a 15 page forum with people who are thinking of buying or have bought.
    They all seem delighted with everything apart from the tyres.
    Seems to weight about 13.4kg.
    Not sure if I'm aloud to give a link to a different forum but I can pm it to anyone who asks.
    Great reviews about Paul cycles so I've got no worries there.
