Any ideas on when this might be published?Shred on. This is what we know:
- PinkBike is including the company response for broken bikes in the field test
I know smart lizards are slow writers.

this is probably more telling than anything included in the reviews.Several PB employees hit us up about buying GG frames personally after the field test sessions
Not sure, but whenever they get to the downcountry bikes. It looks like they're almost done with trail now, not sure what's next.Any ideas on when this might be published?

Huh, I thought it was what the POTUS calls any nation south of Texas.fucking down country?
"downcountry????"
That's what I call the inbred portions of alabama. And yes that's redundant.
Shred on. This is what we know:
- PinkBike is including the company response for broken bikes in the field test, and we have not been asked for a response.
- I know the testing we've done, they're strong.
- Several PB employees hit us up about buying GG frames personally after the field test sessions. Levy was also very stoked on The Smash in his review last year, and at the Revved launch in Texas, he was pretty pumped on the Trail Pistol.
As a side note, they asked for a size 2 Trail Pistol, so I don't think Levy and Kazimer rode it as part of this field test, as they both ride size 3.
i'm game. there's still a big gnarly black spot where i smashed my toe.
we usually have a crew that goes up for opening weekend
it really varies from year to year. the times i've been it's been pretty good with only a bit of mud in spots; other dudes have had years where it's been pretty sloppy.it’s on my mind for sure. But as Kranked alludes to... what are trail conditions usually like that early in the year?
It looks like they have someone called Sarah Moore and James Huang doing the "Downcountry" testing... according to their spec sheet they look to be about a Size 2.. James is the resident drop-bar enthusiast and Sarah is the world's worst trivial pursuit player, so I don't expect to see any broken bikes from these two.As a side note, they asked for a size 2 Trail Pistol, so I don't think Levy and Kazimer rode it as part of this field test, as they both ride size 3.
I've been calling it Downcuntery.fucking down country?

oh i looked at it alright.ummm... have you given thought to having that looked at??? It’s been like 2 months dude. That sounds awful.
no. those are the mexican countries.Huh, I thought it was what the POTUS calls any nation south of Texas.
I think you're right, which explains they had a Joplin instead of a Tallboy in the Dumbcountry category also. Neither it nor the TP seem to fit in with the other Derpcountry bikes, and having ridden both as well as the Primer and the Optic the SC and GG will both go toe to toe with at least 2 of the 3 un-broken trailbikes. I'm assuming they based it largely on travel rather than capability.It looks like they have someone called Sarah Moore and James Huang doing the "Downcountry" testing... according to their spec sheet they look to be about a Size 2..

The new GG Through Lander bike will be called the Wile E Coyote.
Yeah damn them making bikes specced for how people might want to ride. "Downcountry" is actually a pretty decent term for an XC bike that doesn't break if you take it trail riding. If only we could call them "trail bikes" or something.it might be funny, if they weren't trying so hard to use it seriously to make it a thing, and it looks like some brands have decided to run with it, goddamnit
Or even "bicycles"...Yeah damn them making bikes specced for how people might want to ride. "Downcountry" is actually a pretty decent term for an XC bike that doesn't break if you take it trail riding. If only we could call them "trail bikes" or something.
I've got nothing against how they spec'd the bikes, but they're just trail bikes, they didn't need to make up a new descriptor. I mean, the one bike I would've thought was 'downcountry' descent oriented was the Pole, and that couldn't even handle a 2 foot "huck", it's all stupid.Yeah damn them making bikes specced for how people might want to ride.
