cheers, i kinda like the green though

 hmm, not a fan per4soanlly, but everything else = sick

 lol cheers dude, just ordered a superstar front wheel to match the rear and x7 short cage rear mech and shifter, then it's done!

 Ooooooh that great bike i'm huge fan of patriot

 it's not too bad, it could be lower and slacker, as it's not as stable as i would like, however i've just come back from an uplift day at moelfre and it didn't put a foot (or maybe a wheel ) wrong. Takes the hits like the champ and just eats everything, i love it.

 sweet man sound sick im debating whether to get a patriot for my next bike

 instead of the sx trail? i think they're pretty similar bikes in terms of geometry and travel, though the actual quality of the suspension on the sx trail might be better (not ridden one) as the orange does tend to blow through its travel a little, you really need a good custom tune on the shock to get it working really well. There's probably not a great deal of point upgrading to a patriot really unless your sx frame is just a bit knackered

 yeah it would be instead of the sx trail i dunno i just like to change around every now and again

 fair enough, it is a nice frame, though you might want to try one first, they're pretty different in the way that they behave

 yer i could imagine the single pivot may feel different
