No it's all good it's a legit point. 6'2" tall, low front end, 15" seat tube, 400 mm seat post, doesn't add up to ideal xc geometry. But the way I figure is I spend 90% of the ride off the saddle anyways. Should be ok. If not I'll always have bike #3 to fall back on for the real xc stuff…

Nice looking bike, Matt. What is your opinion about the Nics?

No worries, bro, you'll sooner or later be able to hit dirt. :)

But…the logic didn't add up?

i rode with matt on fromme, and he really doesn't need a long seatpost, he can pedal on any bike, any travel, it's sickening.

agreed, kperras - you should go for a ride with Matt (in case you have not, highly recommended). I rode Cypress and it was depressing, although, as I come to think of it. I found riding with DaveM and synchro depressing as well. :lol:

Matt is unreal.

Beware… possible side effects of owning a banshee include looking 'cool' and being a threat to local wildlife!

I remember going into grade 9 and having a new blue plaid shirt.
