I wangted a bike I could ride to the trails and still be able to go fast on and be very chuckable as the DH was becoming pointless living in the South of England. I switched frames way too often between long travel, short and meduim travel and then found this and hopefully I won't need to change frames for some time now.

Get the TALAS Pushed
Fit another Big Betty in the rear
