Wow, I just had a look at the photos Charles Morgan uploaded to yfrog. Damn, that is nice! Makes me think the size is doable and not too big after all.
I am worried that the rear tyre is so wide, and that the rear suspension is in fact not one of those single-side things as I was told in the email. I'm worried by the latter because what else was wrong in the email if the word on the rear suspension wasn't?
