how do you feel about the shock tunnel everyone is complaining about? is it really that much of an oversight? it’s rare i ride in the rain and these frames just look so good.

For me not that big of a problem right now, yes its collects mud under the shock. But after i muddy day you wil clean the bike anyway. So the mud wil not be there for a long time.
Thought I would throw some updated photos with a build spec.
