“I would like a 120mm travel single pivot around the BB30 bottom bracket” – you’d probably like it until you tried to pedal it anywhere.. unless you want it as a ss jump bike )
tbh brand generally means little to me if the people behind it know what they’re doing and the outcome suits my needs / wants, so i can find most of the types of bike i’d ever want out there already.
what i’d really love to see is a few brands that have lost their way get back on track in my eyes, i won’t mention names but there are a couple and they’re brands i do have irrational soft-spots for. brands from when i was a kid, mainly bmx. i heard that geoff apps and brant were talking, brant’s gonna be a busier than usual guy at this rate but i’d love to see what the outcome of that looked like, geoff apps is a legendarily different thinker in the mtb world.
