Very nice DMR indeed! Cool making a XC-DJ combo, which actually makes the often more boring XC-rides somewhat more fun, as the bike is properly very agile.. 7/10

New bike, Felt Redemption, well, very nice spec'ed, and is gonna be a cool build, but, i'm not very much on to the frame, i'd probably spec for a better frame, and upgrade parts in time.. 6/10

Well, my bike, Cube Sting, XC/AM, 140mm up front on a Fox Float RLC, and estimated 115mm in the back in a RP23.

Watch more pics in my profile..

Cube Sting HPA

Mavic Crossland Wheels

Ya Ironhorse is definitely kaput. http://www.osk-art.cz/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-7463

I've considered looking into buying a frame, but if something goes wrong with bearings or bushings or whatever they use, I'd be up sh*t creek.

Well you don't have to replace the bearings with what IH gives you. Most likely they use enduro anyway. but you can always get a kit direct from enduro. probly cheeper, and if they are not using enduro I am sure better quality. warranty issues would be a pain in the ass, but I am sure you could fix most anything aside from frame snap.

EDIT: Oh yeah forgot this....
