The rest of the 2006 line up doesn't look that much different from other brands etc.

Try this link for other info.

There was a yellow one at Bournemouth on Sunday. (didn't have a camara with me, sorry)

Geoff 'Hulk Hogan' Routledge had one. His son had been sent it for a testing.

I'm liking them a lot, will they be very expensive or similar money to the new Haro's or something??

That's the one.  It had carbon fibre forks and was a steal at £475.  In bright yellow it looked really nice and had I been in the market for another 20" I'd have placed my order.  Humps

Eagle eyes!

It's only on that model....looked at most of the others.

Perhaps it was so good people couldn't leave it alone :)

Looks like that one belongs to a (probably Japanese) team member as its stickered up and the Techs are also worn, there are some amazing flat riders in Japan.
