Message: This bike (and it's more expensive brothers) is the bike of the moment, and for £800 is about as good a full sus'er as your going to get at the price point. Five weeks with 'Goose has seen only the seat and peadles changed and a slight tweek of the stem hight and sus' settings. The sus' as standard is nearly perfect, a couple of winds of preload and four clicks of rebound for the rear, minimum preload and rebound up front and I've got a nice plush ride that's couped with everthing I've riden over so far. The rear mech took a nock two days in and needed straighting and the gear change fettling, but is supper smooth again (SRAM x.7 rear mech & changers). Only down side is the paint finish, it seems a bit poor in places and is a touch thin. Plenty of stone chips have appered on the down tube, free drive link and rear stays. If it continues it will need a re-spray within 12 months. 8/10 with room for improvement
