I did the MB-1 thing on a Chromag, and I honestly miss it. It was a economical decision for me but also a pride decision... The old bmxer mindset that I could ride anything on one bike and make it work. And I did, until I didn't. The main reason was that I pushed past the comfort level on faster choppy trails to the point where my feet were hurting after each ride. I reluctantly bought a squishy AM/Enduro and love the ride but I've also spent WAY too much time working on it. It needs a few hours of work now just to be ready and I missed our PNW "false spring" window since it's snowing here again. As if by fate, I am back on the Chromag for my only rides since I converted it to a more gravel/XC build which is fun on the lower elevation hiking trails.
