Delayed into them another week, not sure on the actual build date or delivery to customers yet though Cry

But it is what it is, the bike/shipping business is a mess currently!

I know I know. It's only because I was getting all excited. Saw a shipping confirmation from then...then realised it was for mech hangers!

Loving my other bike at the minute anyway, so I'm sure I can hold on another couple of weeks.

Picked it up to get back into biking last May, been a great bike to be fair, just older style geo. I have an offset bush and the 27er linkage to slacken it a little.

My mate has one of you gen, running mullet, with coil front and back at like 180mm, it's a ploughing machine!

I really like it but unfortunately I can’t compare it to the stock one since I swapped since day one, I really like the feel of the coil on all my bikes.. Smile Plus it looks really good! haha

I can only talk about the super deluxe switch to a fox factory DHX2. The super deluxe is so bad compared. I can't even compare it.
I have set my coil once and that's it. I don't thinker that much around. One click more or two but that's it and only really for a very different terrain. I do more with my Lyrik and smashpot inside. More often changing the progression for it. but that is only one knob..

With my 161 (hopefully) coming soon. I wanted to ask, Invisiframe or no? It's quite expensive, but I always regretted not putting it on the Nomad. Doesn't seem to be a problem with the (steel) Murmur, which I think is powder coated. What do you think?

I'm in the exact same position, and I can't decide.

£80 to invisframe, but the gaps between the pieces always annoy me, or leave as is and get it painted/powdercoated for the £80 when I do the bearings at some point.

But I'm tempted to do it, as once it's scratched that's it, and the option is taken away Frown
