Why is this getting cold votes? May have limited appeal, but its a huge saving on a quality frame for serious MTB'ers

Superb frame at this price. A serious piece of kit at this price, (original price is a little inflated but there is still a good £4-£5 hundred off. Hot.

i agree with no valid reason people vote cold £499 is a lot of money but a 69% saving deserves better don't just vote cold because the deal doesnt suit you if it's cheaper elsewhere please state and help other people, heat added for value

Great deal, to be honest though I don't bother posting the 'limited appeal' deals any more as people seem to vote cold just because they're not interested. I'm not into golf but if I saw a great deal I'd vote hot

Says only the 16" in stock? Is that possibly the reason for the large reduction? Either way, 16" might be restrictive for most people, but a hot deal nonetheless (so I voted hot).

i think 16" for a full suspension is a good size for anyone you dont want them too big.

I have quite long legs, so find it just a bit too small for my liking. As one of the reviewers says, 17.5" probably suits 170-185cm riders, and 185-195 might find the 19" more comfortable. I certainly struggle with the smaller frames, but everyone likes something different to the next (even lanky folk!).

I really have no idea if this is a good deal but those who have bothered to comment seem to think it is...so have some heat.

Agree with the limited appeal comment. I've posted real deals which just don't take off cos of that....I was well happy when someone posted a kids camera I was looking at with £20 off. That was a real saving to me and one I might not have spotted myself....but it managed to reach about 19 degrees!

Perhaps we need a new site called 'Real Deals' which drops all the DVDs and games which clutter up this place. Having said all that I'm hooked on this site and have found some real money savers. Just wish I was in the market for this frame!
