Well I actually got this back at the end of May. I had been thinking of getting a new frame for a while and after an impromptu demo ride on one of these at Dyfi in April I decided to pull the trigger.I was unsure of going mullet, as it also meant a new rear wheel coming from the Ripmo AF, but it has been great so far. Built up from all my Ibis bits with a few new bits this is the final build. I've not ridden it a great deal, but it's hugely impressive. Feels like it really solid, it's agile and playful, and gives me confidence. Which coming from zero has been a good thing. I've not tested it on anything super technical. Service from Atherton has been great. I had a few niggles when I got it. Lower shock bolt slightly under torqued and a snapped cable port piece. Both sorted very quickly. It's a great looking thing to me. I love the details, the lack of welds, and overall quality.

I just need to ride more now.
Looks like a tank (I bloody love it). A bit jealous.
Mullet is the right move I reckon, for messing about in the UK. I have two similar bikes, one full 29 and one mullet, and now the trails are drier I'm finding the rear wheel contacting my arse at the worst possible times on steep twisty techy stuff on the 29er. It's better for flat out speed on long rough downhills... but UK riding rarely involves that.
my absolute favourite bike at the moment. Very very jealous.
Lovely. I'm looking at the S170. Did a demo a few months ago as well and it was great. Just filling up the bike fund a bit more before pulling the trigger.
Very cool!
Saw the S150 (I think) at Bespoked the other year it looked super. Was tempted, like you I was unsure of mullet, but went A150. I’m very pleased. Glad you are enjoying your S150.
