Cheers mate, I love it. How's my old baby holding up?? It's an epic bike that alpine is!! Do you know it will actually take 650b wheels, both the fork and frame will accept it, you can then lower the bb by an angle bushing for the shock

 It's been great thanks, really enjoying it. I have swapped a couple of bits from my old bike on but thats just personal preference. Otherwise I havent fiddled with it it seems perfect. I just put on a photo I took of it yesterday, they are good looking bikes and a nice colour too as you said. www.pinkbike.com/photo/10689919

 Looks wicked, loved that shock and forks!
