I know there have been countless threads and I've read most of them, but I was hoping for some additional info from those of you that have had the bike for a while. I am looking to build a dedicated singlespeed trail bike with updated geometry. This is the DH forum, and I'm asking about trail bikes...
What worries me are the 'bike feels short' statements and the slack seat tube angle -- which I think is the reason the bike feels short. I don't plan on running more than 4" of travel the majority of the time.
I guess I'd like to improve some of the charateristics of my current singlespeed, without compromising too much 'XC-wise.' The Sovereign is a decent investment and I dont want to make a mistake.
Thanks.
