    Nice. A rare beast! I hadn't realised it wasn't until XL that they matched the wheel sizes up. (I only look at big bikes being a big bloke!)

    Where are you going to play with this because it'll take on ANYTHING!
    Trail fun - Transition Bandit
    Road - Wilier Izoard Centaur/Cube Agree C62 Disc
    Allround - Cotic Solaris

    I was running it 26/26 but took the plunge after trying one with 27.5/26". Works a treat..
    Home turf is The Malvern Hills but, as it's my only bike, it gets ridden wherever I go. Have done BPW, FoD, 417 project so far but looking to get out to the Alps towards the end of the summer.

    That looks seriously great.

    A mate has the 301 in raw finish, Liteville do make nice looking (and riding) bikes but I like the black theme you have there. (Ok both my main bikes are currently black so I may be biased).
    Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.

    Thanks :D

    There's an in-depth review on Pinkbike about how the different wheel sizes affect the handling of the bike (http://www.pinkbike.com/news/liteville- ... -2015.html ). All I can say is that it works really well.
