Gorgeous frame and a lot of details done right. I love the 76 degree ESTA across all sizes - I think it's the perfect STA for not blowing out knees, and also is a lot more realistic in the XL than whatever number most companies pull out of their ass for ESTA. Along with growing rear centers, it's really geometry done right across all sizes. If I was at a Forbidden dealer I'd be all over that Nerds colourway.
I'm curious how the LONG RC feels in the XL considering it's actually going to be substantially longer than that when the bike is sagged given the high pivot design. Recall the Aurum HSP in the larger sizes is only like 430 or so before sag! Compelling bike!
