Get your minds out of the gutter. I'm talking about my new covet bike. A buddy of mine in ABQ built a sick long travel hardtail singlespeed with the option for gears a few months back. I was curious. The other day a "friend of the shop" rolled in with a similar long travel hardtail singlespeed to install his new dropper post and I got the bike crush again. Funny thing is its an old crush, maybe. Santa Cruz Chameleon? Some of my CO Springs homies may remember my fancy for that bike. I know, I know, its a 26er, but 26 is not dead, that's just industry talk. There will always be 5'3" adults and vertically challenged preteens who need decent bikes with 26 inch wheels.
I am looking at 27.5/650B/may not be a fad frames as well. The Kona Explosif is a 27.5 and steel. I can run a 120mm fork on that.
Working at a bike shop. Rad. Debt servitude...rad.
What does all this mean? Bad news for a couple of my current bikes. Only the Surly is safe. I am not XC (prove it)!
