So it begins

Happy New bike year.
This will take the full year I am sure.
I have started with a pike purchase.
This will be frame up build including me lacing the wheels. So I will be searching at the deals that come through the door.

Frame style, something that can do both trail and bike parks. Must be long travel 150mm 29er.
Intriguing
Number 1
EVIL Reckoning
Number 2
Santa Cruz High Tower
Number 3
Trek Slash
Number 4

That's the short list unless someone brings real world results first.

Yes there maybe a enduro race left in me.

Go E bike, you can ride trails and pick up a 12 pk, chew and scratch offs at 7eleven😉

Ok push Pivot switchblade into the number 2 spot.
I couldn't find a DW link long travel 29er but now I have.

One only hopes to be able to find demos of these.

I know, but it’s still the prettiest bike on the planet.

My vote is for the switchblade

Pretty sure you know I have been SC fanboy from way back. Tazmon 2 Heckler 2 super8 chameleon and nomad.
I have never owned or ridden a weagle link. I have been intrigued. But that high tower sits on top of the list.

I got to ride a Switchblade in the xc trails and park trails at MCBP and I was stoked, highly recommend.
