Guerrilla Gravity, badass frame manufacturer in Colorado

I have gotten my ass kicked to the West of Asheville before...oh, there's a bunch like that even at our little east coast mountains!
there's good stuff there...and even in the pisgah to the east too! (heartbreak and the wilson creek area). i need more riding time out west tho for sure!
I thought the rid-egg site would have you on a S3 long or S4 short at that height, so S4 long has got to be plenty roomy
I'm also 6'2", 34" inseam and had the S3 long pegged as my size and riding style.
6’2” and “Full Throttle” recommends S4 short with a 32mm stem on the website size configurator while “All Around” suggested S4 + 60mm stem. I am much more of the former in terms of riding style and am using a 35mm long stem coming from my previous build. The seat tube is reasonably short and the stand over is low on these frames so it’s pretty low risk to size up; I have enjoyed the last two times I have gone up in reach so I figured I should go with the frame that allowed me to explore that further if desired.
I’m sure I’ll give the short setting a try, however, I did not feel taxed by the wheelbase or too stretched out with the reach. Additionally, frame storage on the S4 is also very impressive so it has that going for it!
@sikocycles what year / model 36 is that?
2020 grip 2 160mm
Yes. Can change to 20mm. Comes with the axle also.
did this just come back for 2020 or have i been completely asleep at the wheel
It is the same battle I fought with my new bike. It all worked out rather well in the end.
I’m not sure. My old 36 talas on my Nicolai is the same. I run 20mm on that.
The old Voltage FR had those 27.5 - 20mm - 36s. I had access to them through work. not too long ago I found a stash cleaning out some stuff built a bunch of them out of spare parts. I used some 26 and 27.5 crowns with some 27.5 and 29 lowers. I tried all the options I could get my hands on and settled on the 27.5 crown with the 29 lower. I like the offset and It’s taller so more mud clearance with a fender and a slacker front end with the height.Yeah, saw it myself on their website after your post. Only 51 mm rake and only 29" though
Ben got some 650b ones me thinks.
And they aren't available in Europe...
i have a 27.5 36 with a 20mm axle. its an older model but i looked into it once and i think i could still drop a newer damper in it.
i liked that fork . . . until the lowers cracked at the pinch bolts 
one ugga dugga or two?i liked that fork . . . until the lowers cracked at the pinch bolts
T-shirt only a large! Not quite a monkey.
Damn how don’t I know that. Getting a Rid Egg fanny pack also?
only if it comes in flo-yello, construction orange, or turquoise for max enduro pointz.
Hot pink is Supra enduro
You mean turq? It’s an endurohue
Welcome to the BorGG family, we hope your assimilation process will be pleasant.
Seriously, that's grand news, and I think you're going to love the MT, especially in Pisgah north. Another benefit is that you will die with great honor and RM rep when your UV fatigued handlebars break
Are you going to put stwrong sized wheels on it?
Dude!!! No way! Are you stealing all the parts off the Nomad? What brought this decision on?
Welcome to the GG fam!
Welcome to the GG fam!
He snapped his Nomad being too RAD!
yep - nomad is borked - rear chainstay buckled and top tube is also compromised, and they've not been a pleasure to deal with in the warranty process . . . so time to make a change for the radder. nomad parts should all transfer over - will just be 5mm short shocked. might drop the fork down from 180 to 170. and will have to redish the rear wheel the dreaded 3mm, I guess. eager to rebuild!!!
So the frame broke?
The FRAME failed first........
You sure?
It was the FRAME, not something else?
Not something with some shit clamped to it?
The F.R.A.M.E broke........
So of all the parts you have on your complete bicycle it was the frame that failed.........

Guy I know just cracked his current gen carbon Nomad right down the middle of the top tube. Super weird failure. I ran into him in the parking lot after it happened, he said he didn't crash, but looked down and there was an 8" long crack right along the center of the tube.
dem hubs got rebuilt to medium flavor wheels last year. but i wouldn't mind trying . . .
maybe you were to busy buying your ebike to remember when i tagged you when i got a new set of cracktacular sixc's a few months back . . . but when i landed and heard the cracking noise, the first thing that went through my head was "kidwoo was right - dammit bars"!
just for fun . . .
rear:
front:
shit
That sucks
Glad it wasn't the bars though. Sincerely.
Why do you glue dimes to your mountainbikes though? That's weird.
