Pole Bicycles Has Filed for Bankruptcy
If that's 10k sterling then $20k NZDish. I'd probably still get an S-Works version of something and call it a day. We would struggle to get an Atherton or Hope here for that money.

Video: Why You Should Give A SH!T About Bike Festivals Like Sea Otter
Are trade shows even a thing anymore? Some of the bug camera ones have stopped as no one wanted to unveil their latest and greatest only to have it trumped by their rival next door. I feel with zoom etc my work really has to justify sending us internationally once year for essentially just a catch up. I'll miss it, but the day of travel either side and events to fill the three days I won't.

First Ride: The Sub-$600 RockShox Domain and Psylo Forks
@woofer2609: I think it's hard to make really close comparisons. I mean was your Talas QR or thru axle for a start? The Pike has quite a bit more travel. What I quite like is still I have lots of old bikes with forks on them. So I can ride them back to back. Honestly 20mm axle coil forks from nearly twenty years ago were really good. I have a 145mm coil Nixon, 150mm coil Travis, even a 180mm coil Travis. All with 20mm axles. It is a little bit when I read someone saying new geo is light years ahead of previous bikes. They've just bought a 160mm full suspension bike that's slack coming off an entry level hardtail. There were great bikes in the past.

I had the SL which was very pretty to look at. But I went to a Super T with a 20mm axle afterwards so I can't really compare them.

@maestroman21: I have a 2003 Dorado that feels better than almost anything out there. Same with some coil forks from the mid noughties. But be kind and open up your suspension at least once a year. They'll last forever then.

@tigen: Top out would drive me nuts. I think it's one of the worst feelings short of a loose headset.
