Link Sports was the local service support for Pole Bicycles of Finland ... however, Pole have decided to bring it back inhouse and so we have a number of frames to clear. These are the V1.2 models ... in the 140mm the difference between the V1.2 and 1.3 is in the cable routing. Sizing Geo, colours remain the same.
The 150 Evolink is a collectable ... replaced by the 158 with Geo and sizing changes.

An unbiased review
I'm keeping my 140mm and ride it in 29" mode. I'm pretty much faster everywhere on it ... slack + steep seat tube angles make it climb everywhere ... add 29" and provided you can keep a steady cadence it motors up and over tech features surprisingly easy.
Descending and corners is where its at. so be prepared for stupid grins.
Long wheelbase means you aren't going to be wheelie'ing like you use to ... but be honest ... you suck at wheelies anyway. You would normally just plough anyway ... this is the bike for you.
The only real trouble spot due to the long wheelbase comes from trails you aren't familiar with. Ss or quick changes of direction can catch you ... but where you know this is coming ... you pretty much automatically accomodate as per any normal bike. Tight corners / changing radius corners are actually OK ... if you like to rail corners the 29" wheels are for you
I'm 5'7" and ride on the Medium Pole ... I use a 50mm stem and have experimented with 800 and 720 bars ... I'll likely end up at 740s with 30mm rise.
If I were to change anything ... I think it could loose 2kgs.
Otherwise, I'm happy to continue riding Pole
