You could get a long toupee...

Is this Zac's?

 

[moorey]

Departed/MIA @Zac Hinton knew I fancied it, I was patient, the time has come. It will be a descending plough and shuttle day bike. I know they aren't light, or the greatest on the pedals, though I might try it for an enduro round for giggles. The Rune was going to do these duties, but a mates son fancies that, and I can't have both, so that's off to a new home as well.

They are a lot of fun to ride and still 27.5

Absolutely. Cuss knows I won't do it justice.

Ima want a circle beard if I could manage one

 

[beeb]

Yes!

And it should pedal fine IMO. Quit your excuses.

It may well....internet opinions are worthless. If it's my only bike option for the TransTas I'm a little scared though...

Not sure if agreeing with or insulting me...

(You know what to do - it's your thread - surely it's allowed!)

Everything I read about this suspension platform says its a poor pedaling option...but sublime on rough stuff descending. Good traction on technical climbs though.
I've never bought/not bought a bike based on opinions, and I'm not about to start
