Great article! I'd like to agree with you Mike and use this as justification for my growing collection of slightly different bikes in the 160-200mm travel range, but I would have to go against my own attitude on every bike I've ever owned. I have dialed it back now though, mullet here, +10mm travel there, single speed or 10 speeds, nothing crazy. The tinkering and customization is part of the hobby, and opens up some great affordable options too, like what was shown in Andrew's excellent min-max series.
Now about those hot-rodded washing machines...
