Just got home with this: 
I got it from Drakes at Leeds. 2014 model so I got a large discount. They also had an ex-demo but very clean (medium) with Kashima Fox 34 fork and shock which I liked but it felt just that bit too small so I chose this large one. The shop, who had both sizes concurred with this choice.
Upgrades coming soon are:
- Dropper. As it has external clips for the control and I don't want to drill it I'll prolly use a standard external one.
- N/w 32 chainring and ditch the front mech. |

Very nice! Quick tip though, ditch the 70mm stem and get something closer to the 40-50mm size, perks up the handling a treat!

Steormy, I'd rather let Vanessa Feltz sit on it.
The bike that is.
Marsbarman. Thanks for the shorter stem tip.
