All such a matter of perspective. I've never enjoyed a short travel bike. Ever. Period. Fin.

So it will have to be imported from the Eastern states, Imma have blue balls now because I can’t just rock up to the bike shop with the cash and ride out the door with me new steed !
Edit
Checked out availability of Treks and it's the same deal, I'm not going to get my hands on a new bike in the next week...but am reconsidering Trek as I remembered I want to do a WAGE race or two at some point. A bit more travel seems like a good thing. And the dealer isn't a 2hr drive away, I don't want that kind of travel..

I don't know what you're talking about. I am awaiting delivery of a new xc rig. Big wheels, carbon, 100/100 travel, and going to weigh in about 10kg...you won't catch me on the climbs!

I got a nice bonus from work which
I had to wait till December for, so that’s why it took that long.
The blokes at The Humble Bicycle Co. made sure it was perfectly put together and set up the suspension using the Trek guide for my weight. I went for a quick ride at Meelup, two different short Blue runs. Took it easy but managed to topple over and put the first mark on it

I'm sure the guys at Humble are good, but jot down the settings as they are now so you can always refer back, then get the shock pump you were supplied and have a play with the suspension yourself to fine tune it, it'll take some time but even if you end going back to the factory settings you'll have a better understanding of how that particular bike moves through it's travel and if it works for you.
