Thinking of trading my old 01 SL frame in for a new one with my redundancy $$$, are they any good?
I borrowed a m8's for 2 week (before buying a prophet*) and was impressed with it handling (lot sharper than my Marin 100mm), and it confirmed to me I like single pivot full sussers.. Didn't think it was at all light though (reba's/hope XC wheels/XT & thompson kit).
Nice bikes IMO

*I wanted the Prophet before trying the SL, but the chance to try, it was too tempting to ignore

Handles really well.. different beast with more travel.Around 26lbs now (with ztr 355 tubeless)
changing the bearings on the new frame are much more of a pain, need new tool, than the old frame. But from a quick chat at MM, it looks like the next new frame will have even a new easier way to change them.
We had a stock build one at 27lbs with no pedals. Hardly Superlight for a £2000 100mm travel bike.
