Yeah, looked at the Ellsworth but it's a bit lightweight for my use. Good size though. Also watching all the stuff that comes up on SthrnDH but people won't put the actual size in their ads - usually just 'medium' or 'large' if anything. So I've asked several to be more specific but don't get replies!
Trying out a Giant Glory soon, 16" should be about right. Gotta have something for Cwm Carn...

Hey dudders,
Just a second thought on the Ellsworth... it can take the heavy duty stuff. You might be put off by its looks, but it does take the hits like all the other big bikes.... unless that is you want to go downhilling all the time! The Moment is the bike of choice for the guys at freeborn - big jim owns one uses it for uk and overseas riding. I saw one or two moments in Morzine ridden by big guys with big beefy forks  _________________ http://fraktiv.pinkbike.com/ |
