Additional Info

2 years on this frame. Whole setup is feeling a bit clapped at this point. Maybe I am just bored of it. I have also realized that I am chasing a feeling / setup with this bike that it may not be designed for. Swapped to coil sprung suspension front + rear with the hope of creating a planted, cushy, comfy, traction-generating ride but am still not totally pleased with how it works. Considering a change to something with mixed wheels and high-pivot rear suspension in the near future.
