Beautifull color scheme on the wicked! And team comps.... i melt all over team comps.It relative of course but compared to a Klein Attitude I had, they are very comfortable to ride hard for long periods. Bikes can be stiff eg Serotta T Max but still comfortable to ride all day which I used to do at Epping Forest/SDW other day out rides with a posse of riders bitd. We agree the Wickeds, TCs, Yos are great handling bikes for riding through trees, around/through technical rock gardens/terrain ( loved that style of technical riding in the Peaks District, Wales etc ) but obviously you had to pick your lines slowly with canti brakes. We could not just blow straight over everything like a modern full susder with disk brakes. Intuitive telepathic handling as some ex racer once said about his FAT. Anyway lovely Wicked you have Heres my WL in previous owners guise. I have RSRs and Bullseyes on it now and my TC.
Btw i also have a steel Ibis Mojo. The rear triangle absorbs more of trail noise than the wicked but when i am dealing w/ technical tight steep trails i rather have the wicked.
