just found this on 18 bikes site hope it helps.
i have found this thread facinating, partly as i know cy and partly because the only other designer who has as much contact and input with his riders and potential riders is dt over on mtbr.com.
knowing how much anal detail cy puts into his frames, from his steel hardtails to the hemlock and having seen him ride, he won’t blow his own trumpet he’s far too nice for that, is enough evidence for me that a hemlock would be a perfect tool for riding int he peaks, all day every day.
there you go my ten penneth.
