The Troy isn't butt ugly like the carbon Dixon (the alu Dixon had better lines than the carbon)

As the heading says what to get....

 

Will be looking for 2 ... 1 for me and one for the father in law as he is also ready for an upgrade...

 

So to start -

 

Santa Cruz Bronson - AWESOME - But too much cash and some of our mates have them already...

 

So .... what about ...

 

Cannondale Jekyll 27.5

 

OR

 

Scott Genius LT

 

 

OR

 

Yeti SB 75

 

OR

 

2014 GT Force

 

 

OR do we wait for the new Sanction??

 

 

THEN - the holy grail - BUT you can only get it in like August

 

YT Capra

 

 

 

 

 

 

WHAT ARE YOUR GUYS THOUGHTS????

 

If I had to buy a new bike this would be it and in this order.

 

1. Jekyll (with a 160mm pike)

 

2. Tracer 275

 

3. Spaz stumpy 650b

 

They might be the more common choices but they just tick all my box's.

 

As you know I currently ride a 26er Jekyl (it only has a 150mm revelation on) you are more than welcome to take it for a spin over the weekend if you like :thumbup:

Yeah if I got a "Crack-n-fail" I would definitely NOT get the Lefty ... I would build it up with a Pike ...

 

Hey the Supermax is out! bigger OD, beefed up, wider hub ....

So lets see how much I would get grilled for one

just check dialed bikes to see what norcos they had, turns out they don't have any.

 

what they do have however, is polygon.

they don't have one of these on their catalog, but I'm sure if you beg enough they might get one just for you, and one things for sure, you will be the only person on the mountain with one
