 Tracy is awesome in all respects - one of the best all-time racers across multiple disciplines, great ambassador for the sport and seems like such an all-around wonderful person...

 @Steve-skidvd: maybe I'm not understanding this comment. Are you saying this because she's female? I don't see people needing to say this about the likes of Eddie Masters, or Fabien Barel etc..

 @IrishTom: I'm going to stick my neck out and suggest that the comment was made at this point because she co-hosted the video Wink I've seen a million positive comments about Peaty, Minaar, Hill, Barel etc over the years. What a weird thing to say.....

 @wallheater: I guess I was wondering why would there be any doubt she'd kick our ass? Of course she would Smile I haven't seen comments about Peaty etc saying, oh guess what he would actually kick my ass.

 I was just commenting on her attitude in general - I'll say the same thing about Richie Rude (or Aaron Gwynn or Greg Minnaer or choose any of this sport's top performers)...for such extraordinary jedi-level athletes/champions, their demeanor and constitution seem incredibly genuine and humble. It's just impressive. And yes, all of them, Mosely included, would kick all of our asses.

 @phclaw: I didn't reply to your comment though. I replied to Stevie-skidvd and his comment. Think @wallheater misread it and thought I was replying to yours.T-Mo has a great attitude

Thanks Kickme Razz

 As much as I like your coverage for EWS, I'm more a photo/text than a videoguy. Would be nice if you could spin of a real article out of videos like this.

 So Ibid made their bikes longer. But then the rider moves a size down. Does that just negate the purpose of the change?

 I definitely applaud the change.

The Ibis HD3 “would” be at the top of my list, but… the reach on a large HD3 is woefully short 431mm, and in no alternate universe would my 5-foot-10-1/2-inch self be riding an XL frame.

Though I would consider an XL, IF a 150mm dropper post, slammed into the frame wasn’t so close to working/not working for my inseam length.

Nowadays with all of the different seat angles and kinked / laid back seat tubes, the only true way to compare apples to apples between frame manufacturers - as far as it relates to rider fit - is the reach measurement.

Real world example: My current bike - a less-than-modern by any standard large 2014 Specialized Enduro S-Works carbon 26” - has a reach measurement of 450mm, and with a 50-60mm stem has absolutely the perfect reach for me (considering inseam / torso / arm length, pelvic tilt, and riding style).

The XL Ibis HD3 has a reach of 446mm, which would be all good if the seat tube wasn’t so tall (or so correct for an XL).

And I’m not a fan of how far some companies are pushing these reach (and head angle) numbers, as if “more” can only mean “better”

So I can’t wait to see the new HD4 on Tuesday… hoping they didn’t go too crazy with the numbers, and lose the Mojo ride in the process.
