I do not have an ebike, but I am not against them. I see the Positives of them as so much more than the negatives when viewed with an open mind. Of course this monstrosity, you are correct, it is what I do not want to see. Big difference between this and something like the Specialized Levo. Those against ebikes...

I just recently went from the Enduro (specialized Enduro) and tested many bikes (did a small write up already on that) and ended up going with a Trail bike (stumpjumper Expert w/ carbon wheels, just could not pass up the deal I got on it), 27.5 and 150mm front and rear travel. It works great and I couldn't be happier...

Before buying a new bike this year to replace my 2003 Specialized Enduro 26", I demo'd MANY bikes. I am in Eastern Part of Pa (cab3r15 we are almost neighbors). I rode many 29ers, and a couple of 27.5's. The first 29r I rode was the Niner RDO jet, and it felt like a pig, just did not fit me...

For Mammoth and Big Bear/ Snow Summit, here is the employment portal: https://www.mammothresorts.com/jobs#jobs And the about page with contact information: https://www.mammothresorts.com/jobs/about-working-at-mammoth-resorts I hope you can get in to one of those mountains, the whole area is fantastic and a great place to start your visit to the US.

Some of the larger parks bring in temp workers every year, and you cannot ask for some of the most beautiful country to see. Check with Big Bear/Snow Summit, Mammoth Mountain, both are in California and hire fairly large staff for the summer. Boulder and Durango in Colorado also bring in alot of temp workers for the season. As I...

The nuke proof all day. What is up with the neck on the Framed? Honestly looks like a bike you would find at a Dicks Sporting Goods or Walmart. Nukeproof has a proven track record, that $100 difference will be eaten up in upgrading parts if you get the Framed.

When he is registered with the team he will get a discount on certain bikes. Trek is a main NICA sponsor and he will get a good discount there, up to 25%. If you become a coach and bet to Level 2 then you as well get the 25% discount with Trek. Other bike companies will give some discounts, not...

Is this part of NICA? If so what State are you in, our MTB league runs from mid summer through the Fall. As for the bike you are in a tough spot, he will have a growth spurt, and seriously, his Freshman to sophmore year will probably bring a big spurt. That said you can fit a 1x on the...

Well that will garuntee 360 degree pedaling power. We will see quickly if there is any future in it. From a MTB standpoint more weight, and more cost of components. On a cruiser or BMX bike, I can see more viable theory of application.

Bianchi is a good brand, and the components on what you linked are decent, so you will not have any problems or regrets with them.
