10 Things I loved in 2022: Mike Levy
@mikelevy: DD2 and GSI wheel is pretty top notch stuff! I just finally made the switch to direct drive myself, albeit with just a CSL DD, but it's still a game changer. Using a direct drive wheel for the first time was akin to riding a bike with a dropper post for the first time, it just changes everything.

Canfield Bikes Announces New Colors & Builds for Tilt and Lithium Models
I have a Canfield and I would definitely like to have a bottle mount inside the front triangle, but I honestly think the bike makes up for it. I just have a fidlock with a lid on the bottom of the downtube and it hasn't given me any issues. I also don't generally drink while I'm riding, I'll stop off to the side and grab a quick sip. I do admittedly also use my Canfield primarily as a park bike, or on longer rides further away from civilization where I want 3-4L of water and plenty of tools so I'll be bringing a pack anyway.
I have an Evil Calling for local hour long loops that (just barely) fits a bottle in the front triangle haha.

Canfield Bikes Announces New Colors & Builds for Tilt and Lithium Models
@mikealive: I am a former SC owner and demoed a Balance pretty heavily against a Nomad. I ended up going with the Balance and I absolutely love it. I have never ridden a bike that just floats through chunk the way my balance does. It honestly seems like it picks up speed every time you hit a rock or root haha. A riding buddy of mine ended up with a 2019 Nomad CC XO1 and still asks me to trade bikes for laps fairly often.

LOL if I had to go out and buy a new bike today I probably would.

Nothing wrong with that. Polygon bikes are solid too.

Marin Launches New Rift Zone Alloy Range
Well this just ticks all the boxes. Cheap, good spec, good geo, choice of wheel size, and nothing obvious missing. I will absolutely be recommending this to newer riders looking for their first FS.
