Its been an interesting experiment, and its part of why I think the stays on the Honzo are waaaaaaaay too short.
Ultimately the STA on the Sick is too steep for comfort if you leave the S2S, and there's a few other... geo tweaks/oddities. It'll go on the wall, until the fine people at the MTB Hall of Fame calling me wanting a specimen for their collection.
Honestly... I'm not sure what to replace it with, though. But the new Marin El Roy looks pretty cool, and is very progressive?! I'd prefer sliding dropouts; the rest looks pretty skookum, especially for a brand my headspace generally associates with like.... boring peope in boring places?
