Very nice indeed! Demo'd the Alu one and loved it. Heard the carbon one is even better!

Nice... I can see one of them making it onto my list of things to try sometime next year. Trying to work out how to save up some cash for a new bike (since one of mine is barely functional and the other is beyond past it now... to the point of being a bit dodgy)

The LTC rocks (help, I'm 42 and trying to sound all Street!).

SEriously, great bike. Sent mine down Garburn Pass today in the pouring rain and it didn't put a foot/wheel wrong.

Must be good as I'm now selling my TB Carbon frame (It's listed in the 'For Sale' forum if you're interested 😀

dirtyrider, very nice but that money would have been better spent on carpets.

Lovely looking piece of kit, waiting for my lottery win before I can get mine, just a shame they didn't spec some internal cable routing....looks very busy with all those wires.

Why have you got a kettle on your dining room table?

Nice bike.

Glad there's somebody out there with longer brake hoses than me.

Proper wheels?! I thought sans with hope sp s were proper wheels. Would have loved a set of envy carbon wheels but after selling a kidney to finance the bike i couldn't afford to loose any more vital organs!!!

Cables need to be shortened but still working out the best setup.

Full spec is:
Tallboy LTC large
2013 rockshox revelation solo air
Full XT groups
180mm discs front and rear
Stans hoops on hope straight pull hubs
Ritchey comp bar and stem
Giant contact switch seat post
Charge saddle.

I think that they were refering to the Crest rims.
A bit narrow for such a capable bike. 😉

Ok fair point, the upside is it climbs like a goat and has a great turn of pace.
