I rebuilt Le Orange as an Ontario light DH/FR/Trail rig that I can still ride DJ with. Also rebuilding the gold Dob over the winter. Tires will probably be getting changed LOL. I cannot stress the phrase light use enough.
For Ontario, yeah. I wouldn't exactly want to take it out west or to Bromont, but it will get me by around here. I had a 36 on it and it was just heavy and overkill for my needs. Rides way better with a 32 on it. I had a 32 Float on it for a while and it rode nice. Edit: As long as I don't get stupid and bend my crown, all will be good.
ooh ok, i was just curious. I was kinda thinking about throwing my 831 on to save weight... but Im planning to go west to ride. plus I am a hack so I decided I'll keep my 36. your reason seems legit though
yup, all the things you mentioned aside from the singlespeed is that's a good all-around setup; some light dh, trail pedaling with the girl, or even some dj's if the mood strikes..just like my corsair.. and of course love the le color.
