Make sure the Hightower owner gets a free bearing set sent out before they sell you it!

also, has anyone out there run b+ in an offering?
those are the wheels i have at the mo, which might mean the hightower makes more sense...

I've got a couple of Offerings.

My mate went from a Hightower to an Offering. He shortly after sold is 5010 and bought a Following.

Evils are amazing bikes.

If it helps, I’ve owned a Hightower LT and a V2 - LT is an amazing all round bike..the V2 is heavy, wooden and dull

Interested in a variation on this one!

Offering or Newer Tallboy with Fox 36 at 140? I know they are doing different things - looking at "trail" with a bit of comfort! Trading up from a Whyte T-129RS. Due to Covid I have not had a chance to ride either.

Missus is on a newer Joplin (small women's Tallboy) and she reckons it's the best bike she's ever owned. That has a 140mm Ohlins fork too.

I've had a v1 Hightower, but I made the rash decision to sell it a while ago. I regretted it as it was a very good trail bike and felt like a bigger bike than the number suggest.

Go with your heart because I don't think you'll be disappointed with any of them.

@crashrash
I have the new Tallboy and it’s a fantastic all round trail bike.
I also have a V1Following and they are different beasts.
The Following is more “play” than “trail” but not ridden the latest version.
For comparison I would say though that the Tallboy and Following compare better than the Offering.
Cheers
Steve
