I've wanted one of these for a while, but I've not been able to find one, until now. I contacted the Aussie distributor to be added to the waiting list for the next frame run, but luckily he had one frame left.

The build is a direct swap from my stanton slackline, apart from the dropper post, which was a size up.

1st ride impression: best bike I've ever ridden. Geo is perfect, back end is not too harsh, and it just wants to party!

The machined frame finish is amazing, the welds are so good.

They're so good. I was on mine this morning and it doesn't matter if it's 29" or 27.5 running 2.8 tyres, the ride is just beautiful.

Love the gold too! The bars look fine. Might be better just plain but no-one will dock you any points.

And I'd probably have an extra qualification if I totted up all the time I've spent just staring at the drop outs and welds. Enjoy!
