Hi there... i've made a few changes since this photo, wider carbon bars, 150mm DT swiss 20mm bolt through fork, crank bros joplin3, and a few other things... its DEFINATELY not an XC bike, its solid, can handle alot of rough stuff, jumps etc, i run the back end pretty soft and its nice and supple, i love it! definately recomend putting a 150 fork on it, suits it more, and also if your 5'11" or above i'd go for a large. Handles all the welsh trail centres perfectly. cheers, jt

Fantastic bike, I was considering getting this frame but no budget to kit it out as well as it deserves so bought a bike off the shelf instead.

your enduro's mint though! and your in gateshead, thats where my family are from origionally... happy riding

yeah i basically kidded myself into thinking that it wouldn't cost much more than off the shelve... IT DID! i didn't open my bank statements until i'd finished the build... its better that way!
