It's got some yucky Shimano brakes on it at the moment so eww need to do something about that first.

Want to swap The Shimanos for some gold Curas?

They're only SLX I borrowed off my wife's bike, so probably not a fair trade haha.

You don't like the Cura? I heard they were really good.

 

[Litenbror]

Think you're probably right. Really carving the flow trails with the 130, and probably stopping me from doing anything too reckless while I readjust to hardtails.

If you want to try 140 -160 give me a shout you can borrow the Durolux and just remove some spacers (5 min job)

Nah love them and have them on the Waltly which gets 99% of my attention. Since the Prime is getting no love I'm looking at moving it on and most plebs would prefer Shimano or SRAM. That said I agree SLX probably isn't a fair trade but we could probably discuss $$ my way if you were interested in them.

Thanks for the offer, although I could just switch the Mezzer on there so I'm probably sorted for a tester.

Sounds appealing if the SLX are useful to you. Let's work something out.

New Scale coming. I really want it to have a hidden shock like Bold frames. Apparently information will be released in the next 24-48 hours and it'll be raced in Leogang this weekend.

*Oooops meant Spark

Didn't Scott buy Bold? Would be cool if they do adopt it, Bold frames look mad.

Is your wife using the Flintstone's method to stop while you have them?

Well I don't think she's noticed they're missing yet. Should be fun.

That was crap.

 

[Scotty675]

I was going to link this bike but way to late. I like the way XC is going. I’d buy an ally frame for sure. Only downer is internal routing

 

[Alexxx]

I've been a big fan of the Spark since I got one in 2018, hopefully the new cable routing doesn't limit how far you can turn the handlebars

 

[Cardy George]

I like it, but I don't love it.

Bold wears it better

Bold frames look mad.

Yep. Thanks. Another bike on the wish list

 

[The Reverend]

There's so much I like about that frame. Both Scott and Bold versions.

Interestingly, I find the front triangle shape is similar to a Scott Genius LT I used to own (pull shock version).

My Spark was also rocketship fast. Lots of time for them.

 

[HamboCairns]

The slack seat tube looks odd to me.
