I think: one of my fave bikes on this website and it is an insult to you that it ranks lower than the likes of apollos and charity shop bikes. This should be number one mate. Please rate my commencal :).

my god that is awesome! look after it and strap down that seat post cable. Why didnt you go for Rockshox post? Apart from the colour co-ordination. If I hadnt got mine as a warranty replacement for the Joplin 3, I would have moved away as it is more hastle than its worth!
Perfect apart from that, ready for endurance DH!

I have found the Joplin 4 to be fine so far - had one on my previous Nomad 2. Check out more pics on

Feck me. 6000 is a heck of a lot. You can get 3 very decent bikes for that!

Steves replied... on 13 July 2011

Very true but can only ride on bike at a time and i'm pretty stoked with this one at the moment. My next build will be a DH bike.
