Well at first I thought it was a dog compared to my Fox Vanilla R with Ti spring.  But now I've dialled in all the settings to suit me and my riding style:- main chamber air pressure. rebound, Pro-Pedal, boost chamber pressure, it is superb ;D It's now way better than my Vanilla.

I had to dremmel off some of the frame rib (which you can not see), but there is so much material there it's not an issue.

She weighs 27.9 lbs with pedals, not bad for an old bird built in 1998/9.  I think she looks better than a Whyte 46 (Simon!!).
