The looks are somewhat challenging, but the ride is little short of amazing. It's not perfect, and does require a different riding style to riding with telescopic forks, but it's very rewarding. Modern shocks transform it though, and go a long way to dialling out the complaints people had about the front end under braking. Something like a fox RP23 is perfect.

I've yet to finish redrawing the original graphics so the orange Whyte logo was thrown on for a charity bike ride last summer.
