armchair bashing a waste of time, get out and ride one, then let's talk. was
happy with my fisher hifi 29er for last 3 years but looking for something more
nimble. test rode a remedy 7 650b at the kingdom trails and loved everything
about it but the front fork. since then tried a trek fuel 8 650, geometry was
def over the front bars, santa cruz 5010 rode like a pig (does this bike make
me look fat?), jumped on the spesh 650 stumpy and with a few adjustments loved
it. aggressive, fast, wants to climb, nimble, and the front fork proved silky.
slightly twitchy when bombing downhill, but getting used to that after a
fairly slack 9er. is it a perfect bike? not imo. routing under the bottom
bracket is messy, dropper seat control crammed into handlebar set-up. was it
fun? ya effin fun! so who has actually ridden this sweet ride?
