Oh like the "I can't justify the price so it's shit" Pinkbike school of commentary?a self coping mechanism as to why I wouldn't like one... in that sexy Irish green colour.

You are missing the point. You don't buy an Atherton or Acto because it's any better, it's different, premium and exclusive and that's how those brands have positioned themselves in the market. If you thought about bikes objectively we'd all be riding Giants. Thank God for irrational purchases!A 4kg absolutely bare frame and you get 135mm of rear travel.
Nice bike but severely overrated and overpriced... I would say some would be quietly disappointed with their new, very expensive 16kg+ trail bike.
You might have missed the post but I tried to buy an AM150 frame 6 weeks before I went to the UK last year. Luckily/sadly their posted lead time of 6 weeks had blown out to 12-15 weeks.You are missing the point.

A guy rides a Bastion past my place sometimes. When I'm out walking the dog I have to catch myself when I start to put my hand out to hail him down for a look at it. I'm sure he doesn't want to stop for someone to drool on his rig.Could be worse, you could try getting the same design with a road bike.... (keep scrolling)
I have drooled on display ones at the Handmade Bicycle Show before, stall operators appeared used to it.A guy rides a Bastion past my place sometimes.

I threw out objectivity for dentistry and then ornithology.I must be one of the few objective ones on RB.
Can't believe I'm saying this about an Actofive, but that's a pass from me. Front and rear triangles don't match at all it looks like changing the font halfway through a sentence."Newly Released Front Triangles General"

Yep, the P train looks good, has the high pivot and decent geo / fabrication set up going on.Flicks back to see if it was published on the 1st of April.
