I'm surprised at that actually. Kinda figured it would be the converse. I had the privilege of riding the shore for a month (in December no less) while doing an elective in Vancouver and if those were my regular stomping grounds I think my bike would gain some weight probably in the form of meatier wheels and probably tire inserts, maybe even coil suspension.
Yeah no dealer here. You are however very right. The guy at Hardcore told me he talked to Forbidden about becoming a dealer but they were unable to accommodate them as they could not keep their existing dealers supplied at this time. Covid I presume. It was hard to find one. I was looking at the XT build but it was not clear when that would become available. I looked at used ones but eventually I found a frameset at Inside Line in Calgary. I bought some other parts from them and used some existing parts. Really it was a terrible time to buy a bike but I had the new bike itch so bad and this was a bike I have been super intrigued by that I just couldn't help myself.
