Well now that looks like the shizniz! I would like to know how much those babies go for before I take the plunge for a X Fusion Slant. Nice one man! I wish I could help you test them out!

Just a feeler, I might be looking to sell my Jekyll frame, the deal would include the frame, headset, fork (RS revelation), Dropper post (KS i950) and other little bits and pieces that came with the frame. I am hoping to get about 12k for the lot. Would anyone be interested?

 

Make me an offer and I will think about it.

Just picked my new machine up this week from Jason and Mark at Good2Go. 2014 Lapierre Spicy 527 with 160 Rockshox Pike RTC3. There were no more large Spicy's available so they built the XL they had over onto a large Zesty frame for me as both bikes share the same frame. Bit of a wolf in sleeps clothing now. This bike pedals like a XC bike and descends like a DH bike! So happy I decided on this bike and setup.

Awesome build. Just note that the geometries of the frames differ slightly. Spicy is slacker and a bit shorter up top. Frankly I think the Zesty is where it's at anyways.

 

Many happy descents!

Thanks. The Spicy uses a 160 fork and the Zesty a 150 and that's where the head angle difference comes in. Bottom line though is that it rides like a dream!

Yeah the spicy and zesty frames are identical. As Pierre says the difference comes in with the fork. For the money that Spicy was good value. Specced with a reverb stealth dropper, 34 Fox fork and a decent drivetrain, it's an out the box ripper !

How does the fork shorten the one's toptube and chainstays?
