Looking at getting a custom built one fromn LBS near me. I'm basically looking for a light, tough bike for some heavier riding that my Kona doesn't cope with.
Anyone ridden one? Found a few reviews on it, but they all contradict each other a bit.
Spec is - Manitou piggyback air rear shock
Manitou Nixon 20mm, possibly air too.
Handbuilt DT swiss hubs on WTB wheels
Raceface Deus XC double and bash
Avid Juicy 7's with Gore Cables and 203 rotors
Deore Shifters, XT rear and LX front mechs.
Seems decent for £600

And now you know, and knowing is half the battle

It's not so "light" as I nearly bought a new frame a few months back on E bay.
Guy wanted £500 or so...
Got some good reviews but is more an All Mtn bike than aggro XC which I wanted.
Went for a ruffty/tuffy XC/Trail frame, Azonic A7Z instead, 1.3k frame weight, climbs great/descends very well too.0
