A beginner's first bike, a Stumpjumper 15 Comp Alloy, ridden four times on Swedish singletrack: very pleased, very stable on climbs and extremely safe-feeling on descents, easy to get behind the saddle and to stay seated climbing. The dropper sometimes sticks short of full height; at 188 cm the S5 feels very big and an S4 might have done.
