HA! Someone remembers that.
Frame to frame, I'd take this one. The STA on the Sick! was just too steep. It was nice steel, sliding dropouts, and a couple other nice things, but this is more enjoyable to ride overall. The geo was a fun experiment that helped show me what works, and what's too far.
My ideal Stoic build would probably be a bit 'upgraded', but still built around a Pike, 170mm dropper, and Eagle. With all due respect to Mr. Major, I can do without sliding dropouts. I like gears.
The Sick! now resides on the wall behind my work stand as a piece of art.
