It's definately lower at the moment - only just though
. . . I really need a slightly longer
seat post - Feels real strange after my XC bikes (bars about 3" lower than seat) - proper sit up and
beg position. Goes down great but I do like pedalling up hills too. Did 20 odd miles in the welsh
mountains last week and having the seat slightly too low wasn't doing my knees much good. Don't do
jumps (yet) so no need for low seat. Guess I'll get a quick release fitted to the seatpost clamp.
When I bought it it was all set up as a DH bike complete with single front ring, chain ring device
and 24" rear wheel - I like to think of it more as a freeride bike but in reality it's probably
never going to be more than a good strong comfortable XC bike (read 'freeride wanna be') with me on
board but at least I wont be worried about breaking it every time I go off a drop off like I was
with my lightweight full susser. Should be good for the fitness riding the bullit occasionally too
but it's a second (or third - I've a hardtail too) bike and won't replace my Orange full sus for
longer/faster rides.
