Bye bye Turner

for everyone

Sold the Turner - just got to post it off to the lucky buyer.

So what do I replace it with? I fancy something light, fast and bouncy. Any suggestions?

Probably going to be used for the odd Tuesday ride when I can make it, FNSS racing, Mountain Mayhem, Thetford etc. Turner Nitrous would be nice but they don't make them anymore -bloomin' expensive as well. Wiggle or Chain Reaction have a 2007 Hei Hei Supreme for £699 but it may be too big. May join the Superlight gang!?

To be honest if i was in your position i would look no further than a superlight. Very light yet great for days in peaks etc, well roomy cockpit so good for racing and loads of mud clearance.
Infact you on a large would probably be spot on as for a large its a very compact frame heightwise.
If the Nitrous snapped (any day yet!) thats the way I'd go.

So what colour, white and black are taken you have to choose another.

no wait, forgot the object of my recent lust

loadss of travel (120mm) very light (24lb), made to cope with any amount of mud you can throw at it, and bearings will never wear out.
I am now hoping my Nitrous does snap. if you get one I will want a good test drive.
