Mtbr: "4.9 out of 5.0" El Saltamontes Frameset: https://www.mtbr.com/product/bikes/frameset/ventana/el-saltamontes.html 2. Mtbr: Full Frame Suspension El Saltamontes: "t just does anything very smothly. Corners are easy, jumps are soft. I used to be a little scared of tall jumps, but now they are funny and pleasurous. And I pedal about 3 inches higher than any other biker. https://www.mtbr.com/product/bikes/xc-suspensio/ventana/el-saltamontes.html Dirt Rag: "light enough to race, relaxed enough to ride all day and able to handle dicey terrain. Geometry is slightly relaxed by XC standards: 70.5° head angle, 600mm top tube, 1,087mm wheelbase, 13.2” BB height. It is also bright orange. And the paint and welds are better than what is on your bike." https://dirtragmag.com/review-ventana-el-saltamontes/ 3. Adrenaline Bikes: 2018 El Saltamontes "Frame Only": $2095. Local Pick up. Cash Only.

Your bike is absolutely awesome! However, I can't imagine it being a medium. I'm 5' 10". Is there a way the seat post can be lowered enough so I could ride it? Thanks. How are the shocks and the rear fork/springs? Thanks!

Zach, are you able to lockout or load up the rear shock on adjuct the front fork so that you can climb better with it? If so, I'm interested . . . thanks!
