It would be a stellar frame, if they included a 44mm headtube. I'm a big guy so I can appreciate a tapered headtube and the Fox 34 forks. That was the reason why it was off my shopping list.
Nothing new here (well maybe the SLX crankset and plastic pedals), but my enjoyment of the Bandit 29 just continues to grow.
Just an update, still loving my Surface. Seem to be riding everything I did on my Range with my Surface. Plus I'm getting used to airing a hardtail now.
The leverage of the big wheel is a lil sketchy coming out of bermed corners but that might be from the Ardents.
Seemed to handle Torrent swimmingly yesterday
Why slag free swag?:rolleyes:
ummm, as your doctor i recommend against riding with a scaphoid fracture.
Yehaw!!!

besides the color, that's one of the least ugly marin's i've seen in a while.
what's with the ultra-slack seat angle?

Funny cause a lot of people love the color or at least that is what they say, maybe they are just being nice, but the bike looks sharp. The fork is fully dialed up so looks that way. Gonna be a fun bike for me….

But the head angle looks pretty much normal. I don't see a design reason for such a slack seat tube? Or maybe that's just a trick of the photo.
There's nothing better than an Orangina after cheating death with Digger.

Bike is designed around a 100mm fork. 70.5 ha and 73 sta with the 100mm fork.
I am guessing that the Fox 34 on there is at 140mm. Thus the optics on the geo.
Shimano makes some great looking parts, that stem is not one of them.

Looks to be in the 110mm setting.
got to ride this yesterday
not been a fan of Rocky Mtn for some years, but this changed my mind
relatively cheap in the UK (GBP£2200) considering the spec.

My girl is on one of these and loving it. She took the reflectors off though.
My new (to me) whapper, a Carbon Tallboy. Super rad bike!
