Why this bike?
By chance really, needed a frame and this was in stock at a good price! It had the geometry I wanted. It was a little full on attack style of bike so I’ve since bought a mullet link for it and absolutely love it with the smaller back wheel. It’s transformed the bike. Might be a keeper for a bit now.
I don’t often get attached to bikes so there were a lot of other contenders and still are! Mainly mullet bikes after this one doing so well mullet.
The Metallica frame protection kit helps me love it!
I would like to try and airshock on this bike as the mullet link reduces progression. Running a slightly bigger spring than I need so could fine tune air a bit more. Other than that I’m fairly content on it at the minute.
