Santa Cruz'uzzs at Summit, plenty of great options out there for $10-11k.

Cant go wrong with a Levo either, still in the top 3 of nearly every ebike reviewer.

 

[Isildur]

Absolutely!

I should have bought mine years ago. No more damn phone in the pocket!

Doubt you could fit a larger phone in the Ripmo 3 in frame storage…

I had Kedon at Bike Bag Dude make one for me as soon as I got my Ripmo V1. But then, he'd done me up a bag for my HD3, so had an existing connection with him.

It keeps everything I need for 99% of rides, and SWAT Bibs or a fanny pack take care of extra water on longer rides if needed.

Bit longer and slacker than the 29 BFeMax, should build up very nice

The new colours aren’t as nice as my carpark bollard yellow one sadly.

I have the exact same yellow one, definitely painted with leftovers from a cancelled bollard job

I lt is aggressively yellow. When mine was delivered they announced the return of the light blue paint and I was very disappointed

I wanted the frame but had no choice on the colour, came new/second-hand at a really good price from a guy who had health issues. I quite like the new colours.

Feeling a bit BFe inspired to get it out for a spin next week. Probably needs sealant as its been a while

I've spent a LOT of time lusting over the Cotic website.

Somewhere in the UK, there are some bollards not quite fit for purpose, because all the Hi-Viz is on Ozzy & Ultralord's bikes

Not really new, but I like this.
I have the new bike itch and this is looking like a contender. Need to make some time and go see them.

Oh it’s utterly stunning - pricing bound to be next level. But do it, please!

 

[komdotkom]

I reckon the frameset will be $8k ish, we'll see.

Update: Got a quick reply from them, will be available in early 2025.

Did they quote that as a ballpark price? Or are you basing that on their other frame pricing?

Cheaper than an Actofive, so that's something.

@shiny will take the enabling process form here

I made an enquiry about a Prova hardtail frame three years ago - based on that price I'm not sure I'd be confident about the above..

I mean, you do get what you pay for - the frames are insane - but the price is going to require a sit down and possibly a drink. No different from any other titanium full suspension non-Aliexpress frame though.

There's a certain twisted logic to getting a 'forever bike' where you could try and make the maths stack up, with custom geo and the rest.

Ultimately I have some sort of crash or accidental incident with every bike, and I don't think I could bear to scratch up a Prova. Generally my philosophy is that it's a mountain bike and it should be dirty and have a few battle scars.

Maybe when I retire I'll get one and hit the rail trails.

 

[komdotkom]

No pricing has been provided so far, I'm concerned about the lead time too.
I'll keep my eyes open for other interesting options.
