about me:
6'3'' 180lbs
ride hand heavy and like it that way
loves hucks to flat and big berms
hates chunder
half skilled half hack
pnw terrain
grad student actively racking up debt
it needs to be:
able to handle 10ft drops
able to pedal up fire roads
long, slack, low, more the better
steep sta
progressive leverage curve
be found used cheap in an xl
it cannot be:
a dentist brand (ibis, evil, pivot, intense, yeti)
non piggyback shock
skinnier than 35mm fork
carbon
linear leverage curve
wagon wheeled
what bike am i?
looking at:
patrol 2017 (better leverage ratio?)
patrol 2018 (sbg geo worth it?)
scout
gg stuff
153
134
other bikes that arent $$$ and dont suck?
giant? trance beefy enough last few years or reign needed?
nukeproof? i love my older solum dj frame but dont know their mtbs
devincis look short
norco? dont know much about last few years
diamondback release was hot for a minute, those still good value? geo looks meh
canfield? banshee? idk much about these brands
