 Small and fun. Rad af.

 It's been super impressive so far. Had my first OTB on it last night, and I'm not gonna blame the head angle entirely. She's been tons of fun on some pretty damn aggressive trails!

 @dkidd: Really weird off the wall question for you. I know these frames have longer CS numbers as they get into the larger frame sizes, are the pivots in the same location? Could you theoretically put the back end from a small sized frame onto one of the bigger front triangles?

 @sherbet:

Good question!

The rear ends are the same for all sizes- it's the BB position that changes. I see where you're going with that, I think- get an XL and slap a really nimble rear end on it from a smaller bike?

 Bingo, but guess that wouldn't work if the sizing change is on the front triangle. Makes sense from a molding point of view though.

 @sherbet: The designers take their geo very seriously. I trust them, this bike does ride super well.

 No doubt at all. Boss had one last year and I had pretty serious bike envy.
