Hope it gets you re-enthused Ste, it's an absolute flying machine by all accounts, Verrry nice. I love the Pike/Debonair combo too.

Nothing as of yet but I'm on the waiting list, I have a feeling that it's a very long list.

Loving my one - a far better bike than I'll ever be rider sadly, but we can but try. Hoping to take mine to The Alps soon for a proper shake-down What size did you go for? I'm 6'1" and ended up with an XL as I'm quite long in the back. Tried a couple of Ls and they just felt a bit cramped for me. Cockpit is great and the bike feels really nicely balanced. Only thing I'm not sure about are the tyres: WTB Trail Boss (tubeless setup on mine). They don't inspire a great deal of confidence for me over the slippy roots & trails around here. Have dropped the pressure a bit and they are better, but still feel a little loose at the front (or maybe I just don't know how to weight the bike & corner properly!).

I've gone for an xl as I'm 6'3". That's great to hear. I'll probably put my magic Mary and hans dampf on and put the wtb on my old bike that I'm selling
