Its like rolling along in a 40 ft truck on the gravel roads.

Please explain to me how exactly to managed to blag it? And can it be done in the northern hemisphere?

Looks like alot of scary carbon goodness to me, very pimp although i'd never trust it not to break on my big boned ass.

I love carbon goodness, however, having had a Trek OCLV hardtail, and realised I was simply never ever going to ride it hard enough to make it work properly, I gave up - it was simply too good a frame for me.

You have to be able to hammer it all the time in a XC whippet stylee, as the angles and lack of any form of mercy from the frame mean that you just get beaten up otherwise...

Still, it does look the nuts...

Not sure how long it will last with the stones hitting the down tube.Sounds lik a creaking crank but no, thats the sound it makes when those huge tyres chuck the stones onto hollow carbon frame tubes

I reckon this is the first xc bike, light as it is, you would be dicked if your a fly weight.It drags on your legs real bad.My impression is this is for big riders to race.....i wouldn't race it to be honest, but i'm a soft pomme roadie
