Swinley is a nightmare for midges and mossies at the moment. I just use spray on jungle formula. Still get the odd bite though.

Found a 2013 Trek 1.5 for £400 on eBay.
It's done approx 850 miles which I assume is pretty much new for a decent manufacturer.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/231254141773
Anything about that which would put you off?
It's either that for £400 or a brand new Trek 1.1 for £600.
Appreciate any feedback before I buy it!

Looks very good that pretty complex but clever system there had been rumours a while ago about this shock system on either a carbon spectral or the new strive

That ticks alot of boxes for me, firstly I've been but off by the "shortness" of canyons but now they come in a longer version. That name rings a bell was he something to do with mondrakers?
Secondly that's a cool idea been able to switch between XC and a downhill setup.
I like it, alot..
They invented anything to make a fat cunt pedal up hills like a pro yet?
