Will sort out more pics when I get home. It rides a dream feels so much more planted than my old Blur which I loved. The pushed shock on it is way better than the standard RP23, will give it a proper outing at the weekend and exper with fork length etc..

very very tempted, did you build or buy it fully built?

Nice - at some point I really need to get my old 4-bar 5 Spot stripped down and sent for a respray, as it's getting pretty tatty these days. Wonderful bikes though; I still love riding mine as much as the day I first got it, and I still have no desire to swap it for any of the newer designs.

Happy riding - although it would definitely look better without the mudguard.

Be interesting to see if that bike goes anywhere near any mud give that it's been wrapped in cotton wool for the last 12 months 😉

Oi, only got it in November and it's only been built up for about a month, well maybe a bit longer

Agree looks better without the Crud Guard but necessary evil round our parts
