Pinkbike Poll: What Was the Greatest Advancement In Mountain Bike Technology?
Yes. 2.25 tires, suspension fork and clipless pedals were pretty big advancements, long before hydraulic brakes and drop posts

Pinkbike Poll: What Was the Greatest Advancement In Mountain Bike Technology?
Clearly, none of you punters have experience riding trails before the advent of Scott Unishock, the first suspension fork. Dropper posts, hydraulic brakes and 2"+ tires are all useless without a suspension fork. But this option is not listed which is why this survey is stupid

Do the math clownboy, this bike has all the best parts on it. A SC Nomad or a carbon ride with the same parts on it will cost you $6K or more.
This is not some shitbox that has been rode hard and needs all new bearings at the linkages, seals on the fork/shock or brakes and wheels are F'd. This bike is in perfect tune, needs nothing, ready to race.
I am in no real hurry to sell it, I just don't ride as much as I used to and it's taking up space in the garage. If was just about the money, I would part out this bike.
