That so called Ferrari looks like a Merida on steroids. Cube looks hotter.

[Palaeodom]

The name Fezzari is a bit wierd and close to ferrari its true, great price for the specs though.

[Palaeodom]

Is 150mm too much for an XC/trail bike?

[CAAD4]

Unless you're racing for an XC podium you can never have too much travel IMHO.

[Palaeodom]

Really? When reading all these reviews they seems to think as the travel goes up things like control at slow speeds goes down, or pedal bob is higher when you have a higher rear travel? Having ridden a hardtail from scratch i'm not sure if these are actually true or just online blurb.

[Tankman]

hmmm ....?

 

 

[Palaeodom]

what is that? do you know the model number and how much it retails for?
