@Segamethod: That wasn't my doing by the way, it arrived like that and I promptly levelled before riding - I'm not keen on this nose down trend at all

Review: Marin Rift Zone Carbon 2 - Modern Geometry for Maximum Fun
Erm, it is. Let me draw your attention to the SC Tallboy Carbon R, their cheapest carbon model, which costs $5649 with SRAM NX parts. Show me the better specced and better priced bikes you're talking about?

Review: Marin Rift Zone Carbon 2 - Modern Geometry for Maximum Fun
@Grimdonut: I've been riding this bike since last December, and I could have written it up sooner but the recent NS and Bird were ahead of it in the queue. It's also great to be able to spend a good chunk of time on the bike and not have to rush out a review just to be first.

I really want to ride an Optic to see how it compares. Reckon that would be an interesting comparison

Review: NS Bikes Synonym TR1 - Not Your Typical XC Bike
That's an odd one! Just a generic graphic I guess. The actual frame uses flex in the stays instead of a pivot to save weight

Review: NS Bikes Synonym TR1 - Not Your Typical XC Bike
@Dropthedebt: Yes those are them. They're warm and breathable and best of all keep the mud off your legs so less mess at the end of a ride. They're not waterproof but resistant to puddle splashes, and it takes a fair amount of constant rain before the fabric really wets out and you can feel it on your legs.
Just missing some proper pockets

Stuck with a 50mm stem in the end, that suited me pretty well
