I had a Stache for a season. it was great on the right trail, but could feel a bit vague on some terrain. I ran the sliders all the way back, and looked everywhere for a way to slacken the front end. This was before nine point eight.
No other bike navigated root beds better then a stache. The thing just floats over them. It wouldn’t be my first choice for flow trails, or for anyone who rides to their trails.
Steve over at Hardtail Party in Sedona shares our love of the 29+ platform and designed a Ti version of the frame you just pined for minus the longer chain stays. [https://binarybicycles.com/product/maniak-titanium-mtb-frame/](https://binarybicycles.com/product/maniak-titanium-mtb-frame/)
Maybe he’ll send you guys one to review? I was seriously considering a Maniak, but the lack of tire options, and 2023 delivery gave me cold feet.
