This may look like a shameless plug, but i genuinely want/need some feed back from stw'ers.

I am thinking of building up an HX1 demo bike, which is Chumba's do it all hard tail, but for a similar price/spec i can build up an XCL with the new slacker linkage, coil forks and rear shocks etc, to give a shortish travel slack play bike.

Thing is we already have a demo XCL, albeit with the original linkage and air F+R, and can't afford to build both the HX1 and another XCL this month, so what do you reckon?

This may look like a shameless plug, but then so do most of the rest of my posts, so why change the habit of a lifetime

Hardtail. You already have a thousand a bit like the other one (or at least it seems like it from the times I've seen it) 🙂

I need a steel hardtail
