Anyone have recs for a modern-geo hardtail frame that's non-boost? I'm looking to build something that will be compatible with my current 27.5" wheelset. Or a mullet.

Honzo and just run the smaller wheel out back to slacken the HTA? Chromag wideangle?
I believe most the Stantons come with swap out dropouts so you can run either , just have to have the non boost swap out.
Correct

Both bikes stunnig. One question, how does single speed work with an oval chainring? Doesn't that pose issues? (Genuinely curious)

The pics are not great but the bike is...

Probably the fork decals should go, as they look cheap in the bike's economy...

There is always (roughly) the same number of teeth in touch with the chain.

Double agree. The white tire trend is ridiculous.

Amazing how they have the little brown detail on the fork knob.

And a 36 fork. That 34 is a little pinner for my liking.

A local has one, it's so damn sleek and shiny, looks dated to me now, but definitely a Curtis

If he's riding hardpack flow trails, it makes a lot of sense. I've been tempted by the new Racing Ray/Racing Ralph as a rear tire in 2.35 as they grip really well on some trails here, and roll stupid fast.

Tried a racing ralph once, I think it lasted 3 minutes on my local.
