8/10 for the Deviate, love the Pinion but not the mismatched Fox suspension and RS seatpost (also the Reverb post in general)

8/10 for the SC, love the colour, but again dislike the mismatched suspension components, and I'm also not the biggest fan of wireless shifting and dropper

8/10 - I have a burning love for Giant bikes, always dig the blacked out look but not sure about the purple bars and rear fender, love the chromag seat.

9/10 for the Stumpy. Very serious looking, although I am partial to a bit of colour from time to time Smile

Why that seat angle?

The angle of the photo makes it look weird. It is tilted forward slightly as I find it comfier when at full extension.

Having a bit of a mare trying to find the perfect perch though!

Generally I don't prefer Giant or orange bikes but I love how this one is "all in" on the fox factory orange. 8/10
I'd lose the orange headset spacer as it introduces another shade of orange into the mix. Black would look better IMO. Also, the taped on tube is a bit messy as are the random decals. Bonus marks for matching the bottle and pump to the bike though! Nice one.

Here is my Carbon Warden. Do I get marks off for having a 29" front wheel? I figure it still belongs here as it is a 27.5 frame.

Do like Knollys they look differant . Not sure about running it as mullet as it makes the seat tube much slacker but these things need to be tried to see if they work . It's a 8.5 from me .

9/10 on that Foxy, I love the pink/ yellow highlighter combo, could make it 10/10 by taking that front fender off and moving the computer onto the bars or removing it entirely

(also level out those cranks and put Maxxis logos at the top when taking pictures)
