I have one of these



I had mine upgraded from a normal P2 spec, instead of having the standard Hayes Cable Disc Brakes mine now runs the 2005 Hope Hydraulic Disc Brake set-up front and rear!

My mate runs a very nicely specced full suspension Specialized Comp Big Hit and I can pretty much keep with him through all the rough stuff! Only places I lose out on are tree roots etc as mine is a hardtail
