Thanks for the reminder on Lichen! Had totally forgotten about the brand.
I think it’s easy to get a bike that works well and is reliable / easy to maintain but with custom geo that maybe works better for you. Obviously not for the price of a $1500 Hawk Hill but easily within the budget of a lot of carbon super sleds. The difference is it will definitely be heavier.
It also takes more time than just being axle to order something up.
I bought a custom Waltworks hardtail this year to replace my current single speed. Nothing remotely like it on the market geo wise (for better or worse). Can’t wait to build it/ride it some time in January/February.
