im having trouble persuading myself it will make a big change Hmm yeah. Well that's a concern. Murphy's law will apply to me, if it's going to apply to anyone
But UK sellers are £400 more expensive, which sucks donkey pole.
hmmm you think he'd be good for a decent price on a spitfire?
thinking of ordering black XL 26" drops (bolt through) with no shock
most places want £1300 but would be nice to get somink off
cow - sell me on doing it
is the XL going to be too big for the fun stuff (im 6'2) and also not too much of a slog on xc still?

) sent you his way ... he will do you a deal. Tell him you're half chinese too just like him and to do it for a brotha! 
For Spitfires, call Mark Harris at Lovelo cycles and tell him I (Deon .. not supercow
150mm is by far not too little for the bike, the difference really is negligible. A good mate of mine runs his that way, rides it more than his DH bike at the moment (and everything in between)
He rode his Dh bike yesterday and regretted the decision, the spitty's that capable. It's never going to be the lightest bike around, but it climbs exceptionally well, and carries its weight so very well. It wont be boring or cumbersone on the tight twisty stuff in my opinion, but you might think otherwise. You quickly adjust the way you ride with longer bikes (lean into a corner earlier for example). Still reckon you're definitely an XL and not a L
