Geraldooka - very nice indeed.
What travel do you have?
While it looks like a Murmur the numbers are quite different. I imagine it would ride similar to my Solaris Max but with suspension whereas my Murmur is definitely a bigger slacker bike albeit with 140mm travel.
Thanks. This is a 140 travel. Jesse is a very skilled welder I can’t say enough about the quality it’s very high. It’s also a 29er which is a divergence from what I expected to be riding in general. I’ve ridden everything from my 16” Brommie to my 29+ Krampus I like all sizes but for everyday trail riding I didn’t get on with the big 29er rubber. I still see value in 2.6+ if I ever do another bike packing trip where the terrain is unknown. The wheel tire epiphany came about after setting up my old v1 N9 frame as a 29er dirt jumper, with a set of 2.2’s I had in the bin, that was a fun bike. The Wildwood is surprisingly playful with 2.4/2.5. From a geo perspective the other somewhat unique attribute (beside the seat angle) is the BB Drop being smaller than common for a 140 nowadays and the tallish stack both just right :) I have only 1 non-steel bike left in the fleet which is on the chopping block it will be replaced by steel shortly. Then its just ride-‘em till they or me breaks ;)
