But they don't look good with flame stickers
But you could buy your own wheels and run them, then put the original ones back in when you give the bike back.
I realise this is a cost you would have to incur, but if you are being given the bike then the cost of some wheels are not much considering you get a whole new bike. Also, the wheels can be used on your next bike or sold to recoup some costs, if you are working for a shop you must be able to get something at wholesale? Shouldn't lose much money that way.
Flame stickers are voodoo protection from unrideabru low BB.
Not needed on the Pivot with its 15" high BB.
yes, won‘t be the only new bike in the next time. i just haven’t ridden any mtb in the last 7 years and liked to hear some input for decision making. will upgrade the gravel bike too and looking into maybe getting a comfy allroad bike. that area is great for riding all type of bikes.
What was the last bike you had? That might help give a better suggestion..... Besides that, i voted on Ibis Ripmo AF.
Me too, but I don't ride, I just curse modern geometry every time I want to get to something in the garage, stupid long bikes.
I'd also go the Ripmo but only because I wouldn't want any of the others.

Bottom of the picture conveniently cut out to not show the markings for the handicapped parking spot on the ground.
last ones i bought were the 2010 knolly podium and the 2011 specialized pitch pro
if i could choose freely i probably would get a knolly fugitive lt and overfork it
But why....I have it the same with Ibis.
And Pivot.
Ripmo or a yeti b130 c1- the sb130 platform is amazing. Climbs like a goat and rips on the downhills. Yea its a dentist bike, but it is right in the wheelhouse and sold through the shop.
You and I speak the same language.
Currently have a 2013 Podium mullet and a Fugitive LT with a 150mm fork.
Content I am.
I have a road bike and a mountain bike. I think my wife would kill me if I tried to convince her I needed another new bike.
So anyway, looking at picking up a dj bike. If a disappear forever, it's because I picked up a dj bike and was killed for it.
after seeing what kids bikes cost now, my wife is much more OK with my 6 bikes, as my son is gonna be big enough to use them in another 4 or 5 years.
also i need to rebuild by slalom bike, apparently theres talk of an official pump track nearby.
Cost of bikes is indeed insane. I'm looking at what my son can inherit from mine collection as well.
my son is jumping to a 24" bike this year. i spent a little more than i wanted to, in part just because of the covid disruption to supply/demand
I kept my old bikes for my boys.
They have both pretty much stopped riding.
Got the youngest out 1 time last year, and the oldest has been a couple years.
Guess now may be the time to try to sell them as I may actually be able to and also get a few shekels.
Anybody want a 26" Knolly Delirium, or a 26" Endorphin?
Guess I should clean them up and throw them up on PB.

Is there any riding locally from your house and in/around the neighborhood?
Nope.
Other than a small ravine system on the other side of town, any decent riding starts with a 45 minute drive.
Dang. Growing up this was critical to my interest in biking. I could ride out my front door and there were trails, or down to town to ride bmx or whatever.
Yup, that kinda was me as well.
Small country village - If I wanted to go anywhere the fastest way was by bike and trail.
We had a home built bmx track basically across the street, and a 20 minute trail ride would get you to an outdoor moto track carved into the bush the local racers used for practice.
Totally different world compared to the early 70's... In a way, I can't really blame them, but that does not keep me from wishing....
