Anything less than 6' needs an XS frame. The joys of being 11'8" tall, very few bikes fit me  |

the new bike looked amazing going round whinlatter yesterday.only problem was when Michael went for a slash and then couldn`t find it(the bike,not his todger,although we all seemed to suffer from that problem at some point  ),it took 7 of us searching for 15 minutes before we spotted it leaning against a tree.i won`t be getting mine done in a similar stealth colour that's for sure  |

I was keen to see this bike in the flesh as I have a G150 but still in stock colour which is the only part of the bike that disappoints me. I am considering having mine done in a bright colour now as it certainly changes the look of the bike for the better.

Gotta admit that I'm very impressed with how capable the bike is, I hit some things yesterday that I'd never have even attempted before and it took it in its stride. Looking forward to getting out on it again, just gotta wash it now. |

I was impressed with trailing leg technique down the fast twisties even though I did think you were going to stack it big time due to the speed you were carrying  |

I did like it at endor, but I enjoyed that afternoon we had at stile cop too, maybe we could sort out a date and meet up with Gaz, jay etc etc |

Red run is a piece of piddle Gaz, even 'roll over it Pez' can do it. The Whyte is lovely, but that Orbea catches the eye too - very nice! |

Couple of little updates, gone tubeless using low coggers homemade compressor, works a treat. And put a fanny ring on the back, didn't want to but what's the point in struggling, once I get my fitness back I might ditch it but we'll see how it goes.   |

Bike looks brilliant definitely changes it for the better. I think I am going to have to get my crayons out and start colouring mine in.

It does look fandabbydozi.
As for the pussy cog mate...why not? I've done it too - the thing is you don't HAVE to use it. Bloody handy though when you are having one of 'those' rides.

PS - no probs running it with the zee? My planned new HT will be 1x10 and with a Zee - was wondering if it would work with the Zee as I might chuck a pussy on the HT too. Be good if I could get away with buying a new XT mech too - plus I love the look and feel of the Zee from an old bike of mine.

No probs running it with the Zee at all mate, it's the FR version I have and it was easy to get it sorted. |

Seems to be working ok, might see if I can get a pass out for next weekend if you fancy going to gisburn? |
