Timely article Dave. I recently rode my Knolly Fugitive for the entire duration of the BC bike race. Obviously not the best tool for the job, but it is the bike I own. The wrong bike for 90% of the trails, but oh boy did it feel sweet passing people on the few properly steep sections. I did what I could to make it slightly more suitable, replacing tires, fork, and shock, but it still weighed 32 pounds. Was I slow? Yes. Did I fully enjoy myself? Hell yes!
