You're sure it's a L and not a M/L. Asking for a friend

I refuse to try any intervention here. I let those with a chromag problem persist xD

2020 M/L Indigo Rootdown frame landed yesterday. 80% done building it up. Still need to pick up grips, a IS/Post 180 mm rear brake adapter, and decide which dropper and saddle to run. Really tempted to try a Trailmaster.

I’m also trying to decide if I’m going to pull the decals from the fork and wheels. The wheel decals are actually a fairly close match.

I’m not seeing the photo link tools on my phone. Will try to edit the post to add progress pictures.

I use the trailmaster on my two bikes. I like it. Bit heavy but comfy for long rides and they shed the mud and rain well.

I really like the OneUp dropper plus remote and their warranty and service are top notch (I bought direct). Super easy to install and service. And keeps the build as BC as possible!

Thanks for the feedback. I was on a similar line of thought but was leaning towards a PNW Bachelor post. Maybe not BC but at least Pacific NW.

It’s an interesting color. It has a bit more aqua or turquoise in it than I was expecting. I like it but it’s definitely a bit brighter than I was expecting based on the marketing pictures. I really like the stealth black graphics on the blue background.

I’ll be interested to hear your impressions when yours shows up.

Yeah, I'll definitely let you know. Mine will be set up in 29 form, not too much deviation from the stock GX build off their site. I asked for some silver stuff, got a set of scarabs and swapped the square waves for format grips because I want to try them out. Hopefully mid-March the next batch will come in.

I am expecting that I’ll ultimately end up with a 2.6/29 setup. I had bought these 27.5+ wheels to try the setup on my Surface. I have never ridden a 27.5+ setup, so we’ll see.
