Does the 26inch conversion mess with the geometry at all? Looks like a good bike.

The suspension and geometry is so adjustable on this bike the "messing" with it is a moot point. I've been riding with the 24" wheel (pictured) in the high bb 68deg head tube setting. the bb can be dropped an inch and the headtube to 66deg. The 26" conversion essentially lengthens things by 1 inch without serious impact to the geometry... Think M3.

I just got the 26" wheel but i'm looking at a light XC style bike now. The 26" wheel will roll faster and smoother in the rough stuff - the reason i bought it. As it is with the 24" it's fun, wheelies like mad manuals well - has mega-low climbing gears - it's climb a cliff if you're motivated. 22-36 on the front.

Haha, i know what you mean about missing the climbs... theres nothing more fun that beating your friends up on the climbs. Well, if this bike is still kicking around in a couple months by any chance, i might swing by to take a look at it... I need to make some $$$ first
