Not good!

Damn, where did your Highball break?

Don't they have a five year warranty?

Niiice. I just built one up myself ( check 29er thread).

Get some red decals for the forks, makes a nice difference.

9.6kgs is an achievement well done. You'll find this much stiffer than the highball, the p6 is a good choice.

The highball cracked around the bb insert. Got it repaired once and it failed again so sold it real cheap. I bought it used so no warranty, I'll never buy another used carbon bike. Thanks misplaced, red decals are on the list, just run out of credit with the missus atm. I thought the highball was pretty stiff so i like the sounds of that.
