yep they were pretty awful - had to drill holes in the bottom to get them to work anything near well - and then they just sucked in water and pissed it out again. The wheels were killed jumping into some stairs - the days when stuff didnt really work very well

 its a KS i950 with the blue remote kit. Definitely recommended as I've had it over a year, with no issues and only one rebuild despite a very muddy winter, I have added stick on cable guides to the top tube which has helped with the routing. The build has changed slightly sice this photo - http://www.pinkbike.com/photo/6948720/ now with a mrp mini g sl guide and it is still below 25lbs with that dropper seatpost and a 6" fork and 1x10 gearing

 Thanks,
It's a medium

 Thanks

 yes, and i replied to it

 It's great - only just got it though - had a reign before. Pauls cycles is selling these frames for 1/2 price

 It's on a bus route - the bus came round the corner, caught the handlebars and whilst bending the bike in half, ripped a large hole in the side of the bus.

 Just outside Waitrose on Western Road

 I think I got my first san andreas in 94 - waaaay too much money to spend on a bike, but oh boy it was worth it

 i had one of those bottle cages on my first san andreas - it was very good at gouging my legs

 i'm not sure 'lucky' is the word i'd use

 yes and no

 it doesnt work with disc brakes

 yup, they did snap on me in the quantocks

 yeah the shock mount has a crack, its in the loft though with the mr dirts, if i ever get round to fixing it

 I think thats a 51 tooth pace ring

 yeah, you're right, it does look a bit odd as is

 It may look like a long seatpost, but it's a 17" frame and i'm 6'3", so that's as low as i want it. the frame size is perfect for the top tube length that i like
