A new build... its a Stif Squatch

[coomber]

Nice! Didnt expect those cool seatstay/chainstay details

Yeah, they're really smart. I think its a very underrated frame

Right … think of the song ‘there is nothing like a dame…’ from South Pacific.

Now sing …

‘There is nothing like a hard tail…
Nothing in the world…
There is nothing you can name
That is anything like a hard tail…’

Doesn’t scan but it’s a great ear worm when you are riding.

Lyrics….I have quite a few in 29 and 27.5

I have one 29 pair which are stiff, precise and ok…

I have another 29 pair which are stiff, precise and incredibly grippy.

I have yet to understand how to make the first like the second, but working on it …

I have lyrics on my Occam. Spent maybe 15 minutes setting them up and they are fit and forget. These are pikes, they took quite a bit longer to get where I wanted. But I'm happy enough with them. I do think the basic model fox 34s I had before were on a par near enough though, considering these are ultimates.

But the squatch continues to deliver. I really just gel with this bike. I think its so much fun

Pikes … oops … so they are …

Apologies

I have some ‘Breathed On’ Pikes..
Very grippy
Nice complement to the Stif

Muddy Stif excellent!

SNAP!

The Grom and I have just done the same elevation ski-touring. Up from Aminona to Petit Mt Bonvin.
