Hmmm..
Well, after a lot of thought and research, I am pulling the trigger on a HH 4" travel 29er

We are tweaking the geometry as much as possible to make a killer tight, twisty, technical woods bike as possible.. A 29er has some inherant geometry constraints we have to work within..

I am very proud to have Sherwood at Ventana help with the design and build of the beast

Should have the first in about a month!

basic info:
ElSalte Style front triangle
quad bearings and Rp3 stock
sizing (tt lengths) similar to current HH frames

woo hoo!
I am pumped about this

cool
thanks for the positive feedback!

final geometry specs are being done

I hope to place the first order within a few days
may make a small (very small) batch of two sizes
one with a 23" eff tt and another with a 23.5" eff tt

yes, it would of course be lighter than an ElCapitan
I tend to run longer tts for a given length seattube

so.. think 19" seatube with a 23.5" eff tt, 4" headtube

trying to keep the wheelbase as tight as we can get away with and the bb low for a low center of gravity as well as a bit steeper head angle

It may have 4" of rear travel or 3.5" to be able to shorten the chainstays and drop the bb height

thanks, and feedback welcomed
