coz am an idiot for one..and have full squish lazy bikes to ride! lame excuses i know.. was wondering if would be too downhill orientated for here, never committed to it ..though now i am awfully keen given your feedback, as have heard your enthusiasm and seen the action pics for some time now!
@SileTzar: have enough kit to build it up 27.5 & 26 (came with dropouts)- will be built soon and posted up. Will end up a 26 bruiser (..never say never) but will ride the bigger wheels and see what transpires
Why the wait? The bike is awesome, really and I mean really capable. So much so that I am a limiting factor, not the bike. Zero issues after the first week - the dropout bolts need some Loctite or they'll go loose, not a good thing in a bike park - and I really did ride it over a wide variety of terrain. Headangle is confidence inspiring but again not causing the front end to flop about on steep uphills, chainstays are short enough for it to be really poppy and maneuverable, all in all, can't praise it enough. Minor niggle - no water bottle mount.
