  1. Matt says:

    Is it just me or does that Crush look mighty fine?!

    A bit startled at the price but it’s packing some nice kit I suppose – Elixirs are great in my book and a tapered fork is quite handy.

    Wouldn’t mind having a go on that!

  2. DaveW says:

    I always liked the look of the Crush, although the latest incarnation looks a bit fugly to me.

    I feel too old for super rigid alu hardcore hardtails – I always feel like my teeth and eyeballs are going to fall out over the rough stuff. Give me steel or fullsuss anyday.

    (Anyone want to buy a small Rocky Ridge frame – doh!)
