ok, you made me look, orange crush is max 150, there older beefier ones would take a bigger fork, yep NS surge, thats the one. you could also looks at the likes of chromag or lumberjack if you've got the cash.

Doubt the extra 10mm would make much difference strength wise. I would affect the angles but then if that's you concern you should be considering axle to crown hight rather than travel.

Yes and no.

I've still got a few of the first batch left (only 15.5" frames with 21" top tube though).

But the next batch won't be in until late September at the earliest.

rs - in terms of angles, no. But the sizing may be slightly different depending on the feedback I get from my test riders.

I'd fancy a Transition TransAM in that category. I'm very tempted myself.......

Cool, i'm still loving mine, put a good month of riding in on it and should get it over to the north shore this weekend for the first time, see how it goes there.

Simon - as long as it fits me for when you get rid of it, I'm sure it doesn't matter. I've always liked a look of the alpine personally and Mike sounds like he's got your size available!

I thought becoming a parent would curb your bike buying!
