This is my pretty much new Point.50 which is Go Outdoors own bike. I read good things about it on the BikeRadar review http://www.bikeradar.com/mtb/gear/category/bikes/mountain-bikes/hardtail/product/review-calibre-point-50-13-47522 So went ahead and bought it. Everything is excellent and much better than the road bike I had which was totally unsuitable for the state of the roads round here. Bottom bracket is currently being serviced because it keeps coming loose, but other than that I'm very pleased. I could never go back to rigid forks again :)

Now, just fitted a 4000 lumen Cree x3 light. Two rear reflectors cause that's how I roll (one is a light too).

    Nice bike, but my OCD is going mental at the double 'point' in title and text (words and . !) Point 50 or .50 please (pretty please).....still a nice bike though!

    Thanks! Haha wow I never noticed that it was Point and . That It's also written on the bike frame! Does seem a bit of a strange name now you look at it.

    Indeed, and their website now calls the .22 the 2.2, methinks they have forgotten what calibre means! I am still holding out, as a true Brit', for the .303, the only calibre that matters!
