I think I was in a bad mood that day, my apologies.

Buying a new DH bike is the motivation behind finishing up my CNC certificate and getting a job in the spring. So many good choices this year.

I really want something boutique this time around. The Sick Bike Co concept and the Rotec Lawwil 9 are in the front right now. Also that HYPER DH bike they keep teasing. That thing is so good looking.

As for wheel size I'm still sticking with 27.5. Even at 6'1 I don't think I'd be tall enough to benefit from 29.

You should make custom badges for all our bikes and vehicles if you can operate a CNC. That'd be sweet.

Kids just be jealous. I'm happy when I see parents supporting their kids hobbies. My parents didn't take biking seriously, wasted 15 years playing a sport I hated. Didn't get my first mountain bike until I was 23 (transitioning into adulthood and moving out was prioriry). I'd rather see a kid riding a bike on their parents money than sitting at home in their room wishing they could afford a bike.

2016 Mondraker Summum Pro Team at your face!!

Sittin at 33lbs and some change. Ordering a Ti Spring to hopefully hit bellow 33lbs

Surely with that seat height the frame must be a bit short?
