for feck's sake Damo, your going to be riding "across a landscape steeped in mythology" - is that not enough for you?
I think that means there's going to be steep mythologic sections - these are like rad to the max sections that you pin and rail, you'd need to be on full XTR though...
....would a good fireroad not do you?
but if you really want to know...I found this

Do they do finance €495 is out of my price range at the moment, I could give €4.95 a week for a 100 weeks direct debit?
