The past few weeks I've been in one of those 'new bike death spirals'. Currently, I've got a 170mm enduro tank. I recently did my first marathon race in years and actually enjoyed the pain and suffering a bit. So, that got me thinking. I'd like a bike which is more suited for big miles, but I also only want one bike, as I will typically only ride once a week. Thus, a second bike is just not on the cards. So, I had a look at this: Radon Skeen Trail - 29", 130/120, 68° HA, 454mm reach. So, pretty decent trail bike numbers, but should be good to cover ground quickly. BUT, I also want to do some Enduro races this year and they can get pretty gnarly, so that bike might just kill me. Aaargh! Mid-travel 29er maybe? Just wondering whether that class of bikes is really that much more efficient than a 650B with a bit more travel. Decisions, decisions.
