well ive unpacked it and checked all the bolts etc.

remember my other mtb is a Btwin Rockrider 5.3, so as you can see i dont spend alot on my bikes as funds dont allow it.

1st impression is that it dosnt seem to have the quality of the Btwin framewise and also the forks arent as good even for bike that was originaly £549.....BUT i only paid £280 so i suppose i cant moan to much.

got to pop out for a bit now.... but ill ride it later and see what i think.
