Just for the record, I didn't pull the numbers out of my ass. That's about [**where my Waltworks V2 sits**](Just for the record, I didn't pull the numbers out of my ass. That's about where my Waltworks V2 sits with sag when I'm running a suspension fork instead of my rigid setup.) when I'm running a suspension fork instead of my rigid setup.
I wouldn't change much about that bike if I had cause to order a replacement - say it was eaten by a T-Rex - and even then it would be a few mm here and there. It's my all-time favourite bike, the only mountain bike I own, and I love it - with a suspension fork or rigid.
I got there by ordering something much less extreme (V1) that was more aggressive than other hardtails I'd ridden at the time and then spending a lot of time wondering if it wouldn't be even better if it was a little longer (starting at 450mm stays / 480mm Reach instead of 465mm / 64° sagged HTA). Finally, I just had to try it and custom was the only answer to exorcise my geometry demons.
