That Doctahawk is dope! I'll have some pictures of my Rootdown up here today. Just picked the frame up in Whistler yesterday!

Nice. Is the finish on that Doctahawk just clearcoat?
My buddy has the same finish on his Doctahawk but with blue stenciling , It almost looks like the tubes are highly polished , looks like stainless steel.

freaking loving the rootdown. Tried to go as American built/designed as possible per my limited budget

Been riding a gravel bike (700 x 42) on all the West Texas and New Mexico trails for months (Carson, Big Bend State Ranch). Was worried this whip would take away from the fun with that 150mm of travel , but been a seriously fun ride so far.

How are you liking the Cane Creek fork? I'm running an MRP Ribbon Coil on my Surface but may try a different setup as I still feel the MRP is a bit harsh on repeated chatter.

210 dropper is awesome. Post a photo with that dropper slammed and it will look like a dirt jumper.

wideangle build from a couple weeks ago. i know it’s not a 29er but it’s a chromag and it’s my first ever hardtail. now if only i can learn how to not blow my feet off the pedals on chatter!

Heels down and again heels down.... or cheat and clip in.
