FINE. but whatever they do, if they ever make a kid's bike, it's the "Adolescent" and their racing development program must then be "Brats in Battalions."

New DH bike should be the V11...a cheeky move to be sure, but mainly because it'd make @jstuhlman feel bad about owning a crab0n timebomb and for totaling a car in such a mundane, non-jimmydean approved fashion 
Seat’s taken
If that’s an NWA reference
OWG, Straight Outta Denver, has been on the gag list for a long time as a commuter.

The time is ripe to capitalize on the anti-Asia sentiment rippling through bastions of intellectualism like eastern KY, Destin, FL, and most of Utah outside of SLC. The next GG DH bike should be the MaGGA (or Make Gravity Great Again)
You guys would fucking own the Oklahoma DH market.
Sadly, GG would likely sell a shit ton more e-fat bikes than DH weapons. Maybe break out the Meatloaf-e moniker for that one.

It's disgusting I tell ya.
Anyone out there on the new Megatrail around 6'2"? I seem to be in-between sizes 3-4. Curious as to what people my height are riding. Fun (aggressive?) trail riding mostly. No park days on it. I have a DH bike for that.
I'm around 5'11" on a size 3 Trail Pistol (in the short setting) and I would think if I was 3" taller I would lean towards a size 4. I'm not sure how the geo is affected with clown hoops vs. soon to be dead Goldilocks wheels, but I'd guess its not too different. FWIW, @SuboptimusPrime jumped on a Size 3 Smash recently and feels like a Size 4 would be the right call, and he's about your height.
Soon to be dead. Fuck me. I hope you’re wrong, but I’m afraid you’re right. The Smash is on my list as well. Even if it has asshole wheels.
You're right -- we are right on the cusp. On the whole, I think the size finder calls it about right. If you want an all around bike 3 long is reasonable. If you prioritize speed and gnar eating, you could reasonably go with a 4 short. Do you like your bike a bit more compact or do you want a limo? If you're not crazy about stem lengths and can run a 32 to 50mm stem (I'm OK with that range) then you can tune either size to suit. For example, a size 3 long has 493mm reach while the size 4 short is 500--you can make that up in the stem so fit could be similar. I would be happy on either. Of course with the longer frame the wheelbase gets longer which can be good or bad so there's always a compromise.
Here's my data point: I'm right about your height but have ape index of about 0. I'm on a size 3 trail pistol in long with a 50mm stem and as a trail bike its perfect, wouldn't change a thing. I bought it to be my local trail shredder for rolling/flat terrain in central NC. I went size 3 cause we have some tighter trails and not a ton of high speed action and I wanted to slap turns and hit our jumps so it just made sense. It doesn't hold me back at all. By no means is it short or cramped and it fits very similar to the other "large" GG bikes I have ridden before. I love how playful it is, it manuals pretty well, jumps great and I never hesitate to beat on it. I think a size 4 would be less "fun" for our local stuff. That said, I can't imagine adjusting it to be shorter for any reason so I'm at the top of the range for a size 3.
I've tooled around on a size 3 Smash as well and it felt a bit shorter than the TP (which makes sense as the reach decreases as your put a taller fork on the bike). I'm honestly not sure whether it also had a 50mm stem or not. With the Megatrail potentially having an even taller fork and presumably more "serious" riding intentions than a TP, I think you could think about going to a size 4. That's probably what I would do in your shoes.
Thanks man. Size 3 sounds like it’d make more sense for me as well. Not much for sustained DH runs on my local trails. More technical quick up and downs, some decent size drops/jumps/rock rollers. The reach on a size 3 is longer than the XL trail bike I’m on now, in both positions.
Sounds like the right call. Post up your impressions if you pull the trigger. I’ve been drooling over the new MT (and love my alloy one) so want to live vicariously through others.
I’m looking for a fox 650 pound spring that fits the 230x65mm shock. Fox was out of them when I tried to order. Order the zokes and will send the Craig in the off season
Has anyone kept up with their New Year resolution and don’t need a fat a$$ spring?

I've got a 600 that probably weighs as much as the damper. Not the SLS style but free if you want it.
Yes please. I can try that first. They don’t make SLS springs for big boys yet.
I will PM you.
I will PM you.
How much do you weigh, geared up ready to ride? This is for the Gnarvana, right?
Yes Gnarvana. I am 242 in my birthday suit just before my morning shower. Geared up is probably another 10 pounds. Never weighed myself geared up.
Sag estimates:
600lb/in -> 29% sag
650 lb/in -> 27% sag
I think it rides better at 27% sag than 29% with a coil, but either will work.
