    After a couple of years of trying various different 650b bikes ridden by people i met , i loved the pivot. I wanted it in 26 originally but now have the mach6. feels good so far. 1×11 etc… will see how it goes longevity wise

    Congrats 🙂 I had a Mach6 in Morzine, took a little getting used to, but we were firm friends by the end of the day 🙂

    The orange Mach 6 has been one of the few bikes to turn my head since I got my own new bike (“new” lol, now 3 years old).

    Enjoy, looks lovely.

    Come on now,some of us still like to geek out on why you picked what on it.

    Looks like an Ohlins fork – a move away from you marzocchi fork and shock previously no?

    Didn’t you get the memo. All the cool kids are on wagon wheels.

    Bigger wheels are noticeable. Roll better but small slope pumping is compromised slightly. My usual narrow bar makes it feel awesome. So far so good. Just longevity will tell

    Looks great Tony! Nice to see a bit of colour…. 😆

    (i have to say though i’d crash a lot if i rode with bars that narrow!)
