For anyone with a recent GG, how long did it take from getting the "Frame queued" email to be the bike being ready?
Just got that email for wife's Smash build and with the dustings of snow on the peaks she's getting antsy for her new bike.

The lead time for my frame was pretty spot-on.
Dropped in to egg central yesterday afternoon to see if they'd got a size 4 anywhere to throw a leg over. No luck.
Waiting to see if anyone local is willing to let me do a driveway spin.

Hey Man!
My size 4 Gnarvana is at GG right now actually. You are more than welcome to give it a spin. DM me to arrange, if you d like.
Cheers!
I appreciate it.
Managed to spin around a Denver street on someones size 4 smash earlier.
Either size could work, do I flip a coin?
Do you prefer a shorter stem or longer? Bigger bike or smaller? If both work, which feels more comfortable?I appreciate it.

He could probably make either fit comfortably. I'd say the question is how and what does he ride. Tight twisty trails or more open. Rolling terrain or big mountain, pop and play over obstacles or hell bent for leather?
6th likes to go fast for truly unreasonable distances.
4 is a good number, wife has a 3. That makes a total of 7. Also a good number.
I dare you to challenge that logic.
In all seriousness, both would fit, but really look aT the wheelbase on each size and model and compare that to the wheelbase on your current ride.I appreciate it.

My current trail bike is an XL, 9 year old, Turner Burner with a 455mm reach, ~1210mm WB. I think that would be a size 2 GG

Assuming you are interested in The Smash, the Sz3/long wheelbase is +40mm and the S4/short is +70mm. Unless you want the biggest and most stable bike, I'd say go Sz3.My current trail bike is an XL, 9 year old, Turner Burner with a 455mm reach, ~1210mm WB. I think that would be a size 2 GG
^^ Did you send it?
the section shown around 15:40 in that video is one of my favorite parts of that trail. there is another alt line to rider's left too, it's so fun.
If the common ride off point is where you're standing in that pic, you can see why. Right as your front wheel is about to roll off, your back wheel is coming up a slope
Since that looks like a very obvious man made contraption, whoever built it should be fired quite honestly. That's sloppy ignorant shit for a public trail with "features"
Hipping off some of that shit to the right looks safer
Marshal's bucky rock is in the video, the pic that @6thElement posted is a different feature and not bucky at all. I can see how it looks that way from the pic posted, but in reality, that thing is one of the safest large drops I can think of- the flat take off rock is longer than it looks in that particular pic. You can screw it up pretty bad and still be fine.
Different angle:

Youtube comments have a list of other people that have broken themselves on that same rock.
Yikes! Sorry Marshal!
I've never hit that rock kicker as at the speed you're going in that section it looks like it would send you to outer space, even if you managed to hit it with proper body position/technique.
Still, not exactly fun in my book.

Hey All! Good here, haha. Back on bikes/skis in 4 weeks.
Takeaway... that rock lip thing might look good riding into it, but it is not for jumping. Its good for bottoming your fork at full speed and bucking you like crazy.
It's what I get for leading out Yoann on a trail I have never ridden before.

IMO, a few of those tombstone rock lips towards the bottom can be sketch, not just that one.
Heal up!
