First Ride: Frameworks Racing Trail Bike Prototype - Crankworx Whistler 2023
@Brasher: So we basically have identical geo except 1ยบ and 33millimetres.
I don't try to trash stuff, I just say what I think and point out issues. Criticism might sound like moaning but it's sometimes the only way to improve things: for example, Norco send out packages of new parts to all existing Shore customers thanks to my review so I am happy I can help hard-working riders get better products and enjoy riding more!
Peace!

First Ride: Frameworks Racing Trail Bike Prototype - Crankworx Whistler 2023
@Brasher: Maybe I am just a step of the industry? I'm not saying I am, but I had literally hundreds of comments telling me I was wrong/an idiot/mental when I was working for PB for many things that have now become standard.
The initial Geometron and Pole Bikes I praised a lot, I got abused on here a lot, then look a the geometry of the average bikes now (7/8 years on) and they are extremely similar.
