* not actually arrived yet, but when it does it’ll be one of these
Two of my riding mates have Pipedream Moxie’s and they look so much fun. I’ve ridden many, many hardtails over the last 20 years, Rigid, Singlespeed, short forked, long forked, etc. My two favourites were my DMR Switchback and my (current) Solaris Max.
But I’ve never has a super slack, 160mm hardtail. It makes no sense on paper, it’s going to be heavy, I’ll need to strip my lovely Solaris to build it and we don’t really have the steep terrainf or it here (nor do I have the skills to ride the super steep stuff).
Still bought it anyway. It’ll get a recently serviced 160mm Lyrik with the posh damper, Ibis 938 wheels, 2.5/2.6 tyres, 1×11 XT, long dropper, wide bars and short stem.
More pics when it turns up.
