Good Points

Good Value, Good (if basic equipment level), mechanical disc brakes. Stunningly sorted frame geometry.


Bad Points

Fork is at the budget end of the spectrum


General Comments

I bought a 2005 frame at the start of 2006 as I wanted a decently specced bike for less than £400. I managed to pick up a total bargain with the Cape Wrath after reading solidly good reviews from a multitude of mountain bike magazines.
The bike has proved itself to be a stormer and I have chosen to upgrade the parts rather than buy a more expensive bike as it offers the same equipment for £500 as most £750 bikes. True the fork is at the budget end of the market and is pretty heavy, but the frame has been bombproof and has survived my amateur antics when I stuff up and stack badly. The mechanical disc have been great and are a recommended option over rim brakes.
I have currently upgraded my wrath with a lighter fork, hydraulic brakes, carbon seat post and new saddle - just to chop the weight down. The frame is a gem.
