Preach!

My 2017 is a Pole Evolink, so funnily enough, it's pretty darn current for geometry trends. I'm not tall (5'10), but I guess I have a relatively long torso (and zero legs). I guess I've always needed a size small standover with a large reach, and so this bike is perfection.

Reach was the #1 reason why I ended up selling my last bike (Ibis Mojo HD), even though everything else on it was rock solid. I just couldn't find a good way for stem length or seat rails to match proper reach. But my current bike is a 2017 (already old by some definitions), and I can't see changing it in the next 5+ years.

Aimy looks like a great idea! I unfortunately don't have 8mm of steerer to spare, but otherwise I would definitely pick one up.

I don't agree with the "you learn proper technique" argument about starting with a hardtail. You'd probably also learn better edging technique with straight skis, but I'd never recommend them to my loved ones cause, well I love them.
