Re: The MTB thread
146x is one lightweight FS... I couldn't even get a demo on a poverty spec one when I was looking, and I wasn't willing to wait to get my hand on one at 3 months without a demo. Are the waiting lists still that long?

Re: The MTB thread
Theres one in stock, my size that needs a few spec tweeks where I'm getting the demo from.
Riding it next to the five just makes the five, (although a really nice bike), feel massively overweight and sluggish  Was looking at the orange gyro too. |

At double the price of the five i would be wanting it to feel light and non sluggish. Although my five am is probably scratching £4400rrp, different bikes for different purposes though I guess. I would certainly do thing differently if I was doing it again. Have you considered the santacruz tallboy if your considering the gyro?

Re: The MTB thread
Ha, I just realised where the weight saving is on the 146x!!! A £2k wheelset
 rotating mass too.
