Somewhat niche but somewhat of a bargain. Great spec with SRAM GX, Pikes, Reverb dropper for £999

Mate has one he bought used and loves it... Sadly it's the size of the gates to Buckingham Palace so i've not tried it... but it makes sense at that price.
If I didn't already have 7 bikes I don't ride enough....
Mega spec for less than a grand that like.
I have an XL sized orange Dave that I bought last year. Brilliant in a rag the absolute shit outta of it kinda bike.
Bargain for a bag of sand.
Shame about the pikes. Apart from that it's a difficult bargain to ignore!

For £999 what are you expecting?
Normally it's 35s at this price. Just sell the picks and buy your preferred fork.
Fair point!
there is an option to upgrade to lyriks
Everyone is saying it's great spec, so are the 'WTB I30 29er Wheels' good then? I have a set and they feel heavy and sluggish to me - I've been considering an upgrade.

The hubs might be serviceable but the rims are basic, heavy and not particularly strong (I had some OnOne wheels with the i25 rims).
Deffo ripe for upgrade, but this is still great value at £1k now.

<small class="bbp-reply-post-date"></small>I'd say great spec other than the wheels. I imagine they're robust enough but probably easy to save a chunk of weight there - but at quite an extra £££.
interesting comments re wheels.
I'd get some of these for it for £125 with code 66wheelset
14.5kg hard tail...wow!

The Hello Dave? Nearer 16.5kg…

Probably in a "what do you expect for <£1k" kind of way. Especially when the fork is £500 alone in any shop, plus most of a GX groupset, a 175mm Reverb, etc. Just those bits alone are >£1k together.
Blimey, I thought my GX and RS35 spec’d Big Dog for £850 was a bargain, these is another level on! My dog is a heavy beast in large, but I bet the Dave is lighter than my Sick Wülf was and that was an absolute riot to ride.

Let's have a sweepstake and someone who buys one can weigh it when it arrives.
I just built a 180mm FS bike with a coil shock & Zeb which weighed 16.5kg, so I'm saying 15.2kg for this.
Who cares what it weighs - it a steel hardtail for smashing DH on for people who can't be arsed with fullsuss ownership (like me).
Mines ridden at Stiniog, BPW, 'Degla blacks etc then thrown in the corner of the garage unwashed. I thought mine was a bargain at £1300(IIRC).
<£1k for progressive new school geometry and decent if not workmanlike components. I'm sure they have something plastic framed and lighter in tomorrow's advent calendar.

This.
It's meant to be thrown down stuff you'd not walk down, I mean it's got a 62 degree head angle for Christ sake! 🤣 That's slacker than my Geometron!
It'll easily be the wrong side of 15kg, probably closer to 16kg.
Just to give you some real world perspective on weights……my large Dave is 38lbs with hope fortus wheels, Dh22/Argotal, insert in the rear, guide re brakes 200mm rotors, 160mm Domain fork (blew the damper twice in the Pikes), horizon spd pedals, brand x 200mm dropper, burgtec alloy bars and stem, to shave a few grams I went with the ti railed option on the fabric saddle 😂!!! Mine is ridiculously heavy, but it’s my dh bike that I pedal up. It’s not ideal as a trail bike, yes you can make it lighter but it’s never gonna be a lightweight trail bike - it’s heavier than my Privateer 161 with coil shock! Hell of a bike, but it’s no trail bike. It is a bargain, mine is a couple of years old and I paid £1700 ish I think back then.
This must be in donor bike territory
Hoping there is a decent Scandal offer in this sale, mine was stolen and I miss it!
Absolute bargain. Simply remove the Reverb and sell it on for at least £50 and buy the 170-200mm Trans X.
easily

They're alright for OEM- tubeless ready, moderately tough, usefully wide (they dent but they're quite hard to break). But heavy. Not something you'd buy for yourself, generally, but better than your traditional OEM crap.
Saw this thread this morning, thought it was a cracking deal
Got a surprise £1500 Xmas bonus today
Just went to order one…… now £1800 😡
Oh well, was probably a bit too hardcore for me anyway
