Ridgeline with a splash of Rouge
This is my first 29er and 40th birthday present wrapped up into one sweet package which (according to my wife) will last me a lifetime. Rides great and feels ever so comfortable, even after marathon races, thanks to the big bag tyres and the compliance in the rear end through the Ti frame and seatpost. The Lynskey geometry works great (yes the legs are long and the torso not as much). Most components are new with a few carry overs from a since moved on 26” Duelly.
