Riding around Auckland is great and getting better. I live out in Beachlands and we have a heap of trails up in our local forest, about a 10 minute drive. We run regular shuttles during summer and have some great DH and AM riding. And about 25 mins away in Kawa Kawa Bay there is a big gravity park being built by a local, $100,000s dollars going into it, full time shuttle service . The idea being that it will rival or be better than Rotorua. So all in all, not bad riding really!!
Actually the more I research the suspension system on that Sunday the more it doesn't look like ICT, the shock kinda floats as its linked directly to the pivots.... interesting!

No I am happily riding it, love it, more than my old Sunday, and everybody that rides it is impressed. I think the story is that 2 of these frames were made as prototypes for 2010 production using ICT link system... I picked it up off ebay and have since built it up to my riding specs. Its a very similar looking suspension system to the Trek sessions, has limited pedal bob and corners well. Basically its a hell of lot of fun to ride.
