TBF the Ribble is a better comparison as it's not actually available yet. Every time I've ordered anything from Kingdom it's actually turned up*

*Complete honesty - the Ti stems were a little late shipping, but they did email in advance to explain what was going on, actually offer a real apology, and send them quicker than they had advised

I bought a Vendetta from Kindgom last year.
There was a slight shipping issue, mine was sent to the states accidentally.
I was kept updated as to the progress on it. And the issue was sorted pretty quickly.
Adam from Really Good Bikes is really responsive with emails.
I'm glad I ordered from him and not from Sick.

How you finding it? Isn't it just the best HT you can ride?

I sold it a few months later

I went through 3 hardails in a few months.
Started with a Vitus Sentier 29.
Then an Orange P7 29.
Finally the Vendetta UK spec with 29er wheels.

So I went form Aluminium to Steel and finally Ti

.

Then decided me and Hardtails don't really mix that well.
So stuck with my Orange Stage 6.

I realised I was happier riding the Stage 6 everywhere, so there was no point me having another bike.

The Vendetta was pretty cool, I love the raw Ti. And I had the logo shot blasted on mine, so it looked awesome!
I had 160mm 29er forks on it and the HA is 62*.
I thought my Stage 6 went up and down better than it, so thats why I got rid.

No, It was done by Rust Components.
They also make Ti bars:

You'll need to ask nicely, as it isn't something they do all the time

Yeah I bought a set for the Kingdom.
They are now on my Stage 6.
I swapped the Renthal Carbon for them.
A much nicer bar in my opinion.

Hey, Sick have some in stock, might as well order from them, right? And only 159 pounds!

Meanwhile, I just waited on the phone for 40 minutes with our local customs department trying to figure out why my ruby wulf Frame isn't coming through (from Marino....). Turns out they lost the documents I e-mailed in. "please re-send the documents, I will call you back in 10 minutes". 1 hour ago.

"Luckily", I am sitting here with a busted clavicula, so I am in no particular rush to get my frame - I'll be off the bike for at least another three weeks... Could've saved the money for EMS shipping LOL.

of course! Though I can't hold a wrench right now anyway, but I am inpatient as heck Already have all the parts lined up for the build since two or three weeks. Planned to go on a bikecation with the new bike last week (where I ended up smashing my shoulder). Heck; I'll just blame the customs deptmnt for my broken bones - obviously, with the new bike, I wouldn't have crashed!
