theminsta (Feb 7, 2011 at 16:16)

Sick bike.
Though, I wish they kept the useless piece of metal connecting the top tube and the seat tube.. I see it as the signature component of the frame for some reason..
Nevertheless, I love numbers on the geometry sheet! Can't believe that it's just over 24lbs.. because it looks like a tank/anti-anorexic frame.

PlumStick13-Magnus (Mar 24, 2011 at 11:40)

can anyone explain the bent seat-tube?

is it to accomodate for rear end GEO whilst maintaining the steriotypical seat tube angle

or is is simply an aesthetic feature?

I'm not big on AL hardtails, but this turned out super well. Well thought out build for sure. Looks great too! How does it ride in comparison to the NS?

+ 0

Rattsl (Feb 11, 2011 at 12:57)

In comparison to the NS, it's not as responsive, but it is lighter with a stiffer build. Longer stays and slacker H/A are things I am getting used to.

Thanks Jon!
