All fair points! Thanks for clarifying. I didn't know Cove offered that degree
of customization, but that's a good use of their retail + OE situation which
is pretty unique, at least for NorAm MTB co's. In Europe, many (even most)
road brands started out of a shop, which is pretty cool. Did you know that the
brothers that started Ridley were originally professional painters who started
painting frames?
Hey, Fox makes great stuff and Suspensionwerx working on your boing is
addictive, so I get it. Fox is an option on Santa Cruz now, but I get why it
may not work for you. BTW Nomad is completely different than Bronson and for a
bigger dude, that's definitely the direction I'd steer you in. Might be a good
option if they release Carbon R in Nomad sometime.
