OMG I'm so amazed!!!, I bought a mud guard for my back wheel, it was throwing it down today roads soaked, and I cant believe it!!!, I never got a wet backside!!!, only part of my legs that got soaked where my shins, amazing!, never thought the mudguard would be so effective!
Cheers, I'm actually waiting for a call back at the moment, might be getting a Lapierre zesty 514 09 instead
I'd stick with the Trek

I'm constantly calling Propel Bikes as they are the importers of Morewood bikes in the UK.

That bike is gorgeous. As far as downhill bikes are concerned i absolutely love the look of the Corshair Crown http://www.corsairbikes.com/fly.aspx?layout=bike&taxid=58
I have no idea if its any good, but it looks the business
I think my bike aint gonna arrive until friday/next week. I phoned em and asked if my order was being processed because i didnt get a confirmation email on friday as their servers were knackered. Guy on the phone checked the reference number and said that my order is in, and going through...
I said does that mean its getting built now?, and he said "no its going through the system today" or words to that effect.
Cant wait though

Very nice. Just came to me that you did have a Carbon Fibre Giant didn't you?
Thought it was willhub

Bit tame for your bike isnt it? Or are they higher than they look
Soldato
3rd one is pretty high... dont look big in the photos, but once ya on top about to drop.. not massive.. but big enough for an xc bike
The higher one is about 5ft with the ground sloping away. My bike is also an All Mountain Bike with 150mm of travel; it’s not a 200mm Downhill beast and like Cankbro said - once your on it, it seems pretty high, for a novice like me anyway.

Did you land this ok SDK? Front wheel looks a bit lower than it should be, seems like you are going to come down quite heavily on it!
Very nice looking weather for Cwmcarn by the way, bet it was pretty chilly though!?
Good spot, that was the 2nd time and I misjudged it slightly.

That'd be a no then
lol, how's your face SDK, notice you dont have a full face on

ha - I didn't crash. It was just a front wheel heavy landing
