I was extremely close to buying a HTLT, largely based on the XXL size offering. However, I couldn't get over the feeling that it was a slapped together design from Santa Cruz. Sort of a "we need a bigger travel big wheel so what have we got we can put together?".
Being SC I knew it'd be a good bike, but I also feel the next bike they build will be better. Hightower Vs. Tallboy. Bronson Vs. Blur LT. See where I'm going with this?
If SC can steepen up that ST, stretch the cockpit a wee bit, and add 10mm of travel I'll be first in line with my cash in hand.
