To give credit where credit is due, the 73mm threaded BB is worth at least e1399 alone.
Edit: looking at the PB comments. I don't think the frame has to suck your dick but their sales guys definitely should.

Nice conning tower...

Thanks, I already have a Pivot though.
In today's market where every bike company is trying to come to the same conclusion of having a plush suspension that pedals efficiently, I don't think all these bikes are far apart despite the marketing behind them. I believe that the suspension manufacturer has more to do with it than the specific frame manufacturer. Besides, how many suspension designs are really out there? 5, 7, 10? Anyways, i don't think this bike is worth anymore than an aluminum version that cost literally a quarter or a fifth of it.
No, more like 1325 Trump dollars.
because eagle 12 speed wasn't expensive enough already

Sorry guys. Gonna have to skip out on the ride today. Forgot to charge the batteries in my derailleur.
Actually happened to a buddy of mine, during a ride in Arizona last year. His XT kit straight up died mid-ride.
Which is kind of funny as the dude didn't really ride that much last year, certainly not enough to drain the battery.
Here's the problem. The problem with the industry. It's the press. Below is a picture from the article. It shows how, magically, going from Boost 148 to SuperBoostPlus157, you can now achieve MORE heel and MORE tire clearance. MASSIVE mud and tire clearance. All from a wider hub!!!!
I guess because without superboostplus, the thinner stays and yoke would clearly snap in half on a mere 148 boost hub.
What kind of moron do they think can't see this? why can't anyone call bullshit on this?

angry bike designer that doesn't want to wrestle with more fucking standards to decide on.

I hope you heckled him mercilessly
Right. On that shitty illustration it shows one drawing to be convex (148) and the other concave (156.9). That's why the new one magically has more foot clearance than the "ancient " 148.Here's the problem. The problem with the industry. It's the press. Below is a picture from the article.

That's first-rate new ground right there. I for one, hate suspension that moves freely and pedals well...
It’s cool. You don’t need traction deep in the travel.
But you do need optimal pedaling performance when you're deep enough into the travel that your pedals hit on flat ground.
I'm not trying to shit on the guy, far as I know he's just a small builder who wanted to make his own bike exactly how he wanted to ride one, and did an epic job with the level of mfg. Cunningham was the one who applied all the marketing douche buzzwords on it, not him. I'm just trying to make sure that's what the design ideals are.
if i ever built my own bike with a new suspension design, he'd probably be at the bottom of the list i wanted to ride my bike.
I am just going to leave this here. It has cranks with pedals so it must be an ebike, right?

Sub $3k price point scares me a bit.
