Subject: Soul Build
Hi Paul,
Just a quick note to say thanks for the help and advice when I was deliberating over the new bike.
I finished building it last night and took it out for its maiden voyage this morning, taking in a good mix of climbs, flowing singletrack and techy descents. I'm really pleased with it - glad I went for the small. It's slightly roomier than my Nomad C, feels like a nice position to spend a good few miles in. It's the perfect size for me, I reckon. It rips along on the flat and certainly isn't shy going down hill. Dead chuffed with it.
Here's a couple of pics and a spec, feel free to use them as you see fit :)
