www.commencal-store.co.uk/PBShoppingCart.aspif you cant see the baskets then its this frame , www.commencal-store.co.uk/PBSCProduct.asp?ItmID=14498911Then add the Bos Kirk for SX and forks are Bos Deville TRC 26 170mm € 1939.00 / £1422 Then there is the 650b frame AM V4 www.commencal-store.co.uk/PBSCProduct.asp?ItmID=14499098Then again add bos kirk shock and Bos Deville forks 160mm 650b . € 2239.00 / £1635 Add £18 for delivery for either build . now this bike has won what mountain bike of the year , i have a ton of spare parts hanging around , i.e 26in wheels ,3x 10, 2x10 or 1x10 XT gears , full xt brakes with rotors , rock shox reverb , saddle , handlebars , stem , everything but the frame and both shocks. Not selling my current bike just wanting something a bit more enduro . and its also for my other half to ride so if i get the SX it will be this frame www.commencal-store.co.uk/PBSCProduct.asp?ItmID=14499105now if i choose the 650 am V4 frame can i use the 26in wheels i have or do i just bite the bullet and get 650b wheels . it would make sense to go 650 as then i will have 26, 27.5 and a 29er . why is it the bos forks cost £900 over here but through commencal they are measly £600 . im really exited as was going to spend 1.5k on 3 x GTX 980ti graphics cards when they are released in june july but can still save for them lol now i might have a project on my hands , or am i missing something ?

That's really cheap whichever you buy. The Commencal looks a great bike, fair bit faster than graphics cards too.

No mate - got a bang on deal with no fees - you'll find Commencal will do the same as Rose - they want your custom.

Been told it flows more than all the up up up and more ups of Ae forest (not including the down hill section as that's not on the red route) . but now finding Ae forest boring as cant be arsed with all the ups and cant enjoy it . i like mabie better as you so get rewarded for decender bender and burn splash and other sections . |

Problem is everyone enjoys different things so someones opinion will always be vastly different to another persons, I have heard people say that Laggan Wolftrax is 100 x better than Nevis Range and vice versa. Someone told me that the Black at Laggan is basically unrideable, someone else told me that it flows well. I usually just go find out for myself and decide after if its worth going back. |

I do agree with you ..I will be doing a lot more riding and going many more places this year and would like to enter a few races (none timed) I've entered one for September . would love to go to Wales this year too . |
