awesome bike! that front shock... you should make a video showing how low it can go. i got model 2006 f400 with headshock, but your bike looks amazing!
is this bike called the sl in europe as apposed to the f4 in the us?im buying the trail sl 2 in two weeks time and i've seen similar if not identical f series on the net.f or sl still cool bikes whichever way.
are those plastic pedals?

@PS3BlackOpsPwnage Yes but they were pretty good for cheap pedals...

I have Flash 1 alloy 2011. The dropout bit and the rear triangle have changed in 2011 in frame. The tubing now replicates the carbon flash.

Very nice. I just ordered a 2011 SL 3, in white.
Looks to be very similar to the 2010 F4.

is the F4 better then the F5? is it the smaller the number the better?

@tuanhoang Yes. F4 had better components. Frames (F4 & F5) are the same though, just the paintings are different :)

how r the fork and brakes working?

@quadzilla60 Brake performance is almost like the Avid Juicy 3, with little less modulation. And the fork IMO is a little better than my RS Tora

My dream bike right now(out of the ones I can afford).
Could you tell me what is the frame size of this bike and how tall are you?
Do you like the fit?
Thanks

@segans
Frame size is Medium. I'm 5'7" and the bike fits me very well, with the default components. I recommend a Bike Fit before buying your bike :)

@segans
The F4 and F5 have the same frame, the F5 has worse components and different colors

I noticed no Handmade in the USA on the bike anywhere. Is that frame made in Taiwan?
