.... according to MBUK this month

Not a bad article tbh. Some solid press for Nic this month.

Kinda weird as there hasn't been anything press wise in the UK for ages then this happens all at once (MBR - the Kalle interview and this). I figure it takes this long to get frames out to the mags and for them to write it up so perhaps its just a coincidence rather than a massive marketing push by the Nic UK team. Looking at this they seem to have nicked this one off of moonglu. Also its not a long term test or review as is the way with the superbike articles but hey ho its nice to see some positive press.

@Karve - Indeed, I don't suppose you have a link to an electronic copy of the article?

Hey it's my bike

it doesn't look like that now tho! Bossed up, V2 specials, carbon havoc bars, dropper post...now it feels like a Superbike

You all have it wrong, when all said and done, the AM29er is the true superbike.... You will all come around when you move to adults wheels..

Ha, well when Nicolai eventually come back to me on the RC29er and after probably a huge wait! I'll let you know how I feel about that ;-) have a feeling the AM26 will be a long term fixture in my riding world for hooning

Ian, that's why I've started planning now!! As long as I don't have to pay until its finished that's ok, I want it for racing next year, you're on a timetable though aren't you?
