Ahh, a Commencal Furious, thought I recognised it. Did you pick it up on one of the excellent deals on the net by any chance? I saw one going for £1250 a few months ago  By all accounts I read a very fun bike. |
haha yeh i did.  i got mine for £650  was advertised for £950 but once i questioned the guy on what mods were on it i got the impression that he hadn't the slitest of clue about the bike so managed to put my wheeler deeler skills to use and picked up a cracker bike for a bargin! all in all the bikes worth about £2,000 with everything on it so i'm very happy! and yes...its a really fun ride! quite chuckable!  |

| £1400 is a bargain, 2012 models are £2500 and nothing significant has changed on the spec really (although they do look loads nicer!). |
