Sep 9, 2022Guerilla Gravity Trail Pistol Rear Triangle
$700 USDRetails for $1200 on their website. This one's got red decals, which are no longer being sold, but otherwise it's identical to the current version. My loss your gain! This rear triangle fits any guerilla gravity front triangle without changing the size of the bike!
I accidentally ended up with a second rear triangle, so I'm running this rear triangle on my Pistola (the 130mm version of the Trail Pistol - can be acheived with a 210x55mm shock as opposed to the 210x50mm), and the geometry is extremely pleasant. pedals all day with plenty of frontend for the descent! If you're interested in the whole frame, let me know!

Guerrilla Gravity Looks Back on Ten Years of Making Mountain Bikes in the USA
I heard the owners are insufferable to work for. not surprising, tbh! workers in the bike industry routinely lay themselves down for a job that hopefully doesn't suck ass, and at the end of the day there's no money to pay anyone, no time to treat anyone well.
fwiw I like my trail pistol tho. I guess that's how capitalism works

private equity co's run the same gameplan in every industry. buy the business, squeeze the workers via 1000 cuts (benefits trimmed, bonuses tightened, safety budgets slashed, and so on) until the entire workforce in a company turns over into less qualified, less talented, less equipped employees that are ultimately just cheaper. then, sell to another private equity company once you've "expanded your margins" so they can do it all again!

Billionaire Joins the Fight to Save Iconic Queenstown Dirt Jumps
the right answer would be for the billionaire to buy the land and donate it to the community but for whatever reason I have a feeling that's not how it's gonna go down!
