Anyone built this thing up for trail duty yet? AM LT perhaps?

Mine is built up as a full rigid, but from the playful feel of the bike I think it would be a monster when you add a 130mm fork!!

please keep me posted RE your thoughts ... I may be seriously considering one with a 120, maybe 130mm fork and some lekker wheels with dik takkies as a fun trail ripping 29'er HT that can also swing SS

Well as per the previous post, it is a very playful bike. Seriously. I think the geometry is slightly too big for me (medium, thinking a small would do better) and on the descents I really enjoy it. I'm talking single track hey, not keep track as I'm scared on jeep track.

 

By the way mine is rigid too. If I recall correctly Mr Momsen told me that the bike was designed around a 120mm 34mm dia suspension fork, and very capable with a 130mm too. So that's why I was thinking a 140mm would be ideal. But ya, that's gonna cost some money which I don't have.

Just wondering if anyone has done this. Rear tyre cannot go wider than a 2.3. Front you can do what you want.

 

Geo is nice.
