At the start of the year I specked up my dream Bike and it had the same frame, fork and wheels your testing. The concern I had at the time was using the 120mm travel forks on the frame designed for 100mm forks. I'm really looking forward to the next instalment. Wow I’ve just found this and I’m very excited.
