Lurcher is pretty much the same geometry as the 29er Scandal and marginally lighter. I’ve had a 26″ Scandal in the past and the Lurcher is a similar comfort level and has a similar in feel (albeit with bigger wheels). My only dislike is the fact it uses a press-fit BB, which is prone to being more creaky although I’m using a Hope one now which does seem to be a bit better.
The Parkwood is okay, but I don’t like it as much as the Lurcher. Admittedly, it’s a more solid build but seems to weigh a lot more and feels considerably less nimble. Frame weight is a bit higher, and the geometry is different to the classic Inbred/Scandal/Lurcher but overall it’s still a nice bike and good value for money.
If I remember correctly, the seatpost diameter is different to the Scandal as well so budget for a new seatpost too.
