If it's so good why do you keep leaving it places?? ;)

she scares me when I ride her, so have to take a break and let both her and I cool down a little before riding again.

Just putting it out there...

 

What Large frames are out there? I have a medium Trance and could do with a Large.

 

Best situation is if someone has a Large but needs a medium, but seeing what the options are.

I'm 1.83m, and have a Medium Trance at the moment. How much different is the sizing between the Trance and the Reign?

oooooooooooo, this could be a fun swap given that the Reign has more reach than the Trance

Medium reign has 444mm reach & 620mm ETT vs 425mm & 600mm on the medium Trance (2015) so 20mm longer, essentially. Also 65 deg HA vs 67. But then if you still have the Totem... Joh. 

 

EDIT: Was quoting 2017 trance geo initially. Updated to 2015 trance geo.

Built up the new 2018 Knolly Warden a few weeks back. I went with an XL instead of a Large that it replaced and the difference has been noticeable and worth going a size up. Feels even better being a tad more stretched out and centred on the bike, 150mm dropper is now slammed and perfect peddling reach.

 

No geo changes from the old, just new colour scheme and they're now clear coating the frames as previous fully raw models graphics were fading from sun exposure. Still the raw carbon under but the clear coat really makes it pop. Loving the stealth grey as the previous yellow dated quickly and super stoked with how it turned out!

Huge amounts of jealousy right now. Very nice, congrats!

 

Please post a full build spec when you get a chance...

Looking to go XX1 or XO1 at some point to drop a bit more weight and get it into the 13kg weight area. Other than putting on lighter tyres (not worth it in Gauteng due to my weight and the terrain) it's one of the only areas really left for me to bring weight down but in all honesty not too fussed about it being super light, it's a do it all bike but I've placed all the bias to perform on the downs and there it most certainly excels.

 

Absolutely love riding this bike. Puts a smile on my face every time I swing a leg over!!

Was trying to think of something witty and sharp to say but frankly couldn't as that is just a filthy build. Never really liked Knolly's but I love that!
