I'm miles away in the south east in town called Eastbourne. 3 1/2 trip lol.

100% serious, I was all ready to order one, just been going back and forth changing colours and specs every time lol.

 

[gelfy666]

was just a thought.

loving my AM ....... and just got it helitaped, just in case..... im 6" 3' and have the large frame.

I was looking at those invisiframe packs. They do a matte version that's cut to fit.

I'm about 5ft 10.5. Would maybe need a 50mm stem but with those bars I'm not sure lol!

 

[gelfy666]

yeah ive got the matte version........... the only problem with the matte black paint is that it marks easily, thats why i got the kit.

need to make my bars a bit narrower, ok if your a gorilla lol.

Had to pull out of sale as tried a medium from one of the guys on single track forums as it was just too small. Gutted!

Weather was awful!

I was on the way to work so I had 1/2 hour on the TR (grey) and about 20 minutes on the AM. The 'local woods' turned out to be a pretty big area of forest land complete with fire roads and singletracks; more than enough to get a feel of the bike.

TR

I'm 5' 9" with 29" inside leg and the medium is spot on. TBH I'd be happy with either bike; the TR is marginally more compliant at the back so there's a bit more grip on roots etc with the same tyre, but this may just be down to different tyre pressure.

AM

What a fantastic, confidence-inspiring bike! I say bike rather than bikes because they're essentially the same- the AM is optimised for a slightly longer travel fork, so with a degree or so slacker head angle the top tube feels slightly shorter which felt slightly more natural for me. That, and the fact that the extra travel might give me a bit more confidence at trail centres, means I'll probably choose the AM, but like I said, there's very little in it.



This is my colour!
