Nice choice Si 
I used to be well into my biking about 4 years ago, gave up in the end though and never really got started again 
Spent a fortune on crap though...
XTR components, Rock Shox SID XC forks, Hope discs, etc...

You obviously bang into your bikes then mate, do you race? One of my mates was a good down hill racer but was more into his time trials/road races, was one of the top amatures in the country.
