Keen to know myself. Been wanting one a while to stick in the shed when I can't be arsed with all the faff of putting the bike on the car and getting my gear on.
And I'd tidy the shed too :D

Don't worry, I'll take it off your hands for you!
Just pay me the petrol money and it's a deal :)
 
Pretty much happy at the bike now. Only thing I could possibly upgrade are the brakes and discs. Might do that next year some point.
Around 22 lbs and rides up/down very fast. Ive also had the Brain shock serviced under warranty with Mojo. Problem was cavatating :confused: somthing to do with Nitrogen mixing with damping oil.





New American Classic Wheelset with ZTR Alpines (1350grams) It could go slighty lighter without the MudX front tyre but I guess I want to survive the trails.
:cool:

edit - Yes the Seat is that high. Just back from a 35mile ride this afternoon.
 
Thinking about taking the Mega up to Golspie tomorrow....after Torridon I need a fast trail ride.
Plus I havent given it any proper fast descent's yet :D
 
How is the Mega RX?

Picked up my mates from my LBS on Monday and delivered it down to him.... very nice frame, welding is smooth. Very light frame mind, did yours have 1 or 2 little chips in the paint work?
Waiting for his new Mavic wheels to arrive... what wheels do you have on yours? The supplied Maxle with it is an RWS one isn't it, he was worried it wouldn't be compatible with his Hope hubs but I'm pretty sure it is.

It is top notch! Frame was mint, welding smooth, very light and no chips.

I have a stock Alex Rim on the front (to be replaced with a Mavic Cross Line) and a Mavic Cross Line on the back, both with 2.35 High Rollers. The Maxle I got is a DT Swiss 135 x 12mm
