Yea would be nice.ah. right. Sorry. I thought the 3d printed ti lugs were all about allowing them to do full custom geo options. nevermind then

Banshee TitanThoughts...im also looking at ones listed here.
So looking at megatower, nomad or a Bronson
Any thoughts 2017+.
Need something above evil following and below session...150-170 rear 170 front I'll mullet it even if it wasn't set up for it
Salsa Cassidy? They are on sale for 2k, has a flip chip and you can buy a different link to make it a shorter travel bike......I think that's what they were saying-Thoughts...im also looking at ones listed here.

People can like any reach and chainstay they want, so long as they can still manual or whip around a tight turn. Otherwise they just bought themselves a Cadillac that has the stability to keep their dad bod safe but lacks any playfullness. I was worried the industry was going down the wrong path on this one but recently it seems everyone's coming to their senses.Pick a reach, be a dick about it.

So your saying that big 29 are detrimental to riders that can really manual or bunnyhop?longer chainstays (and bigger wheels) actually make mannys less twitchy and give the balance point a larger window for error.
Longer reach AND longer chainstays just make raising the front wheel more effort which affects bunnyhoppability as well.
This but also it depends on what your local trails are like.People can like any reach and chainstay they want, so long as they can still manual or whip around a tight turn.

But my favourite rider is on A!But yeah, some people get caught up in trends and think they need A, when B is actually better for 90% of what they ride.
Sounds like you've never punched a cacti while using all of the trail.If you ride where there are super tight trees, maybe run narrow bars. Out in the desert, do whatever.
It's a great bike, see if you can find someone in Socal that will let you test ride theirs. You must be able to cast a pretty wide net through your business, no?Having some serious thoughts about the raw now
After measuring my bikes...
I was under the same impression initially.ah. right. Sorry. I thought the 3d printed ti lugs were all about allowing them to do full custom geo options. nevermind then
from what i can tell he's been farming them out to local groms for testing and feedback. that vermette kid (while not local to nc) is fast as hell. would love to see him make the jump next year. i assume he'll be back out at rock creek for nationals?I happened to ride the lift with Asa yesterday and he has a Frameworks enduro bike showing up any day. Had some pics on his phone, looks like a downsized version of the DH frame, but no idea of the geo. I think he's racing it at the Purgatory BME this weekend.
Wonder when Neko will start selling frames? They look good, and now with an enduro option as well.
Yup. And if you wanted to bastardize it further, you could put the longer CS from an XL/XXL frame onto a M or L frame.Ahhhh
Zs56!
I saw it and assumed it was just his DH bike with a short shock and 38 treatment. Looked burlyNeko showed a picture of the enduro steed on his IG a few days ago. Looks like a smaller travel version of the DH bike, I wouldn't mind one!
If you haven't then you have not been riding foot cycles long OR you are a fucking moron.musings on reach: https://nsmb.com/articles/a-bit-of-a-reach/
could it be that "ideal" reach is based on use-case and terrain (climbing vs. descending; smooth vs. tech)?
That was not targeted at @slyfink or anybody specific... Just the idea that reach or any other geometric metric is always the same for all types of riding is silly. Have you ever ridden a bike on more than one type of terrain? Here we all know this, and it has been discussed ad infinitum. Just frustrating when you see the thought bubbles appear and think oh god here we go again. It is nice to see some talk about maybe we went a little too far with the reach experiment more thought about front / rear center.I'd assumed Sly was being sarcastic.
He's never seemed like a moron. OR newb

I'd say based on terrain and riding style.musings on reach: https://nsmb.com/articles/a-bit-of-a-reach/

Asa won the pro class of the Purgatory BME on the new Frameworks endurbro steed today. Beat some fast dudes including Ropelato.I saw it and assumed it was just his DH bike with a short shock and 38 treatment. Looked burly
edit: switched over Instagram and the first thing I see is Neko riding again, on the very bike mentioned above https://www.instagram.com/p/CuQD5fXxWjU/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
