When I get comfortable with a trail, it's time to ride one with bigger jumps.

Archibald Cycles Announces Production-Ready, Customizable AC1 Enduro Bike
@nismo325: Surely. A gearbox will add about 2kg. (A chain system would add about half that to a conventional frame anyway.)

The Actual Weights of 18 Enduro World Cup Bikes
For about ten years I have been thinking that maybe I should have splurged on a lighter bike. Maybe when I get tired of this bike I'll trade up for a nice modern bike, and finally experience what it's like to ride a really nice bike. Weight wasn't a priority when I bought it. I just liked the dimensions and the general shape, and the price was reasonable and there weren't very many 180mm single-crown bikes to choose from at the time.
It's 34 pounds. This whole time I've been riding a bike that's on par with the lightest bike at the 2024 Enduro World Cup.
That's just wild. I assumed that a proper race bike would be around 30.

Are they going to make these in men's sizes?
It's hilarious that the "large" is only one millimeter bigger.

No, Avy would still only need the damper. The difference is you wouldn't be sending in the spring too.

Burning Question: Is Super Boost 157 Spacing Going to Become the New Standard?
The great thing about "standards" is that there are so many to choose from.
It's a very compact oxymoron, being only one word long.
