It's a Medium 2010 Whyte E-120S in standard spec (actually Revelation SL's not the Reba's they list - apparently they all actually come with the Revs).
Only minor spec changes are:
E13 G ring single ring set up (1 x 9)
E13 XCX chainguide
Race Face Atlas bars
After a bit of tweaking on the first two rides (which included the black run at Llandegla), it's now running sweet - needed more air in the shock than I've run on other bikes to get it feeling right.
I'm really, really pleased with it, especially given the bargain price (£1399 at Winstanleys in Wigan, amazing!)

Nice bike fella enjoy it!
Nice bike! I had the same concern with my 146, I have what seems like way too much pressure in the rear but if you go by the usual rules it was too spongy, must be a whyte thing, happy riding, oh and that's a brilliant price too! Enjoy
Do your heels clip the chain stays? Quite like the Whyte but was concerned about heel rub on chain stay, I seem to scuff chain stays quite a bit on any bike
Yes, I was warned about chainstay rub so I've covered both with the free stickers that came with a recent copy of Dirt mag!!
I'll get some heli tape in so that I can do a proper job at some point.
Funnily enough, it only seems to be the non-drive side stay that my heel rubs - I must ride with that foot slightly "toe-out"!
