[*]Cables are routed under the bottom bracket which I'm not a massive fan of because there is no mechanism to retain the outer a nice cable loop. I'll have to make something so that the cables don't wander around under suspension compression resulting in unwanted rear mech cable.[/QUOTE]
Something like this might work..

You animal, that's some sort of hate crime.

Cheers mate, I'll see if I've got some delrin lying around to make a spacer with - that's not a bad solution. Not sure about the 38mm though!
Think they went with 38mm because of bad cable rub issues.. Probably only need a loop long enough at full compression..

Supposedly you get much more even clamping force if the clamp bolt opposes the split, therefore, front split, rear bolt.

The bird clamps are designed for the split forward and look/work well. No dirt in the seat tube is great!
Turn the other one around, it will work best with the slits lined up otherwise you need a bit of sliding between the frame and the clamp to work properly

Feelin' a bit rrranty
Very nice @komdotkom. Not sure about the Pike stickers myself but a very nicely proportioned build
I'm sold, its a ripper.
Some more fiddling with the shock settings and I'll be pretty happy. I think it needs just a bit more low speed comp and rebound but it was really compliant and pedalled nicely.
I've been on a hard tail for six weeks which may influence my opinion but its got that magic carpet feeling downhill and just enough anti squat uphill.
Heading to Smiths tomorrow for another ride, will fiddle with the shock some more.

Another 30km on this today and I'm still pretty stoked. The bars are a poofteenth too wide and there's a rattle I suspect is the internal cable routing. It got a bit exciting when the NDS crank arm came off, I really need to work out wtf happened there.
This thing just makes you ride like a fuck wit, it's awesome. Although I'm old and close to blind I'm reasonably quick down hill on trails I know, but I've never been able to 'roost' corners at will but now every corner it's tail out and opposite lock. Super easy to manual and pops off everything. It's still got the magic carpet feeling but pedals better than I could have hoped for, I can't see my Paradox doing many kms in the future.
In summary, this could be my only bike. There, I've said it.

I bin looking at the Aether 9C on their website just now. Looks/sounds like it's a ripper of a bike
