Yeah i got that but it says to look out in the reviews section soon, that was a while ago.
Its not that important as i'm pretty sure i can get a demo (hopefully for the weekend) but was just interested.
They are in stock at GT according to LBS.

Don't worry about reviews, if you can get a test ride, take it.

I've had a demo one for a week, I came away highly impressed. It's not usually my sort of bike, more of an XC man.

Just seems to have more travel on the downy bits than it really has, goes uphill ok too for a hardcore bouncer.

Not yet, I've not long bought an RZ120, so saving some more pennies for a while as I want the 1.0, and it's quite a few quid. Sadly the RZ 120 will have to go to fund it as well.

The Dale 120 is nice and climbs better but the Distortion is soo much better going down. Having a fairly low BB is the key I think.
