is fat, is good.
Maaaan...
Looks like a 4X bike that's been on what the Russian athletes are on.

dont let marketing hear you.
back to back tests on 27.5+ and 29" confirm my thoughts. 27.5+ is definitely comfier and faster in some sections, but overall the package is faster and feels better on 29" wheels. the enduro is the complete opposite, 29" wheels were good, but 27.5+ is faster and feels better.
Yes, can't you see the dryads? I find the 26+ on the front of the Bronson better than a 2.4 on a 650b. Rear can stay 650b with the 2.4. Guess it comes from liking the feel from the Muru. I don't care that I am running 26" at the pointy end. I will grab a Stans 650b on evo4 hub and have a set of weird wheels and the M1700s. Let's not start on 29".
Back on topic.

decals from hasdesigns arrived, he also did the die cut decals on my endurbro... fantastic work again.
i preferred the factory style decals over the performance decals, but so as not to try sell them as something they are not i had him remove the factory wording.
light blows them out a bit, they are just about a perfect match in person.

That's pretty nice.

Some nice work again with the colour splashes.
If you don't mind me asking, how much did the decals set you back? Looks like they do some really nice work. How was the communication?

Hugo is a legend. He's made me a few batches of decals now, communication has been excellent through all transactions (tried contacting slik graphics multiple times, unless you want something that you can buy off their site they just don't reply, or try sell you something 'easy')
Can't remember The exact price as I got some other small decals, but it was $58 total. I think the individual die cut fork and shock decals I got last time was about $80.

I just got a quote off him, $22 EUR for a set of fork decals, $6 EUR postage! He answered my query in about 15 mins!

Bikeman has all sizes the 2017 frames in stock for $550USD (about $730AUD) +postage (about $200AUD)
You'll duck any import duty's at that price, still the best priced of this style of bike. Tranny TransAM, Canfield Nimble 9's and EPO's, Niner RoS9's, etc. are about $1300+ for the same deal. Just get onto it!! The colour way at the moment is awesome to boot.

cheers, trying to avoid getting from overseas if possible cos i know customs will try and fuck me (they're even ruder with bikes), looks like i'll have to get dropouts for 12x142 or a converter from my current wheels too (my idea is to take everything on my specialised camber and put it on the honzo)
