The GG bikes are looking really good, the Smash is very high on my list...great bike for taller riders. What bike did you end up going with DemonMike?
2017 Devinci Django 29" , I got the aluminum frame model taxes in for roughly $1900. The GG was going to cost $2050 USD . with the exchange rate and shipping/duties etc on top of that. I decided to buy a Canadian product.
I put a 150mm 36 up front , it,s only 120mm in the back , I just added a Corset to the shock and it has helped a lot.
Nice bike! I am waiting for them to put out a more aggressive geo 29er...I like the Django but don't think I want to go for less travel than the 135mm Prime I am on now.
My plan is to get a more aggressive 29er down the road and lighten this one up.
Devinci is racing a 29" Spartan so they do have something in the works. Be interesting to see if they do a 29" Troy again .
The new EVO Stumpy in raw aluminum has peaked my interest as well . Not the most travel out there but a decent amount for what I ride and the geo looks really good as well.
And truthfully after riding a 170/167mm 26" and switching to a 150/120 29" I have pretty much crushed all my old PR,s up and down .
