Great article. I like the detail explanation on why he does what he does build wise.
This stood out to me:
He says what I was thinking in a much better way. It sounds like he doesn't like short CS but I can see his reasoning. I like short CS's as it's easier for manuals and whips but maybe with that higher 375mm BB those would be easier.
Love the looks of that bike. With the 29 front and 27.5x2.6 rear, tall BB, dual crown fork and backswept bars it looks like a pedal MX (or BMX
). The bars are another area where he gives great detail on the history of why it's been done in the mtn bike world and where that prodcut should be now (like MX as the bar gets wider maybe more backsweep).
