I have two mtbs, a Yeti Big Top 29er all tricked out with XTR and a Santa Cruz Chameleon in a more burley build. They are lovely bikes but I just don’t have any attachment to them. My road bikes I’ve had a while and they are part of me to the point of me being heartbroken if they were stolen.
I had a steel Rocky Mountain Blizzard for 13 years and had a real attachment to it. In fact, it’s still in the lof as I can’t bear to sell it.
I’m looking for a frame, hard tail, modern, preferably steel, not overly mass produced, geometry similar to the Santa Cruz, but something which I can get really attached to for a long time.
I like the Pace RC127 but it’s just not quite perfect for me. So, am I looking at a custom frame? If so, does anyone have any suggestions?
