It's amazing. First ride out and it felt like I'd had it for ages. Its a little weighty at 31lbs but you don't really notice it on the trail. Climbing is helped a lot with the talas forks. You need to drop the front on any tech climbs. Downhill is where it comes alive, so stable and responsive. If you drop the seat down it basically a mini dh bike. Only thing I want for it now is a cane creek double barrel. I paid £1300 for frame and fork from freeborn bikes. Get one!

 How does she handle? im looking at getting one
