@Molegrips if it's anything like my Enduro Bike from 06 compared to my 15 bike the difference is brutal in its obviousness

This might be a bit of a Bold Statement but, you might be surprised. It's like 2 inches shorter in wheelbase and something similiar in reach compared to the latest and best(don't know the number, just going off riding position), it can't take most droppers, and it's a bit heavy... But there's plenty of more middle of the road bikes from the last couple of years that come up surprisingly similiar.

They weren't ahead of their time or anything, they just fluked it, but it still works out the same.

It was a bit off with the standard shock position tbh. Too high up really. But I put the shock pivot in the 'downhill' position, and it's far better. 66deg ha, wheelbase seems comparable to whichever bike I compared it to (forgot).

Weighed 30.5lbs before the dropper went on. It's got heavy wheels too.

I like it. I like the clean swing arm to too. You've convinced me, that's tomorrow's job.

Patriot 66 was an important bike I think.
