Framed Bikes is right in your neck of the woods. I have their Alaskan carbon, and it's top notch for what I need.
Did you go for the carbon wheels option for your Framed bike? Sram NX drivetrain?
I am leaning towards getting the Bikesdirect Night-train and then in the future upgrade the frameset and perhaps the wheels to carbon. Also keeping an eye on the The House sales and local used market as well.
Just got a Yukon 2, love it! Only thing missing was a dropper post and studded tires, bought the dropper and installed going to try it later, waiting for the studded tires! Bought the yukon because of the 27.5'' tires. Hope this helps.
I read in other forum about the rear hub being designed improperly and damages fast and almost imposible to change (in a price point ) due being 28 hole wheels. how its been working so far?
