I took the demo Hemlock, from Freedom Bikes Brighton, for a spin and ordered the frame the same day. It was great! I now have a 6 week wait for the large frames to come back in stock, so lots of time to think about how to build it up.

I'm buying both rockers but the big one will probably only go on a few times a year.

Forks is my first decision. I'm leaning towards bigger at the moment, probably 36 Tals R, hopefully light enough for everyday use and big enough for anything I'll ever ride.

Wheels. Probobly Hope Hoops with DT 5.1 and a Stans kit, although Hope will be doing Stan Flow rims soon so they'll be tempting.

 Brakes. Probably M4s, 180/160

 Any suggestions and comments welcome.

 Cheers
