** Stooge Mk6 **

I like the choice of bamboo handlebar.

Can’t go any further now as my MT8 neon yellow brakes look all kinds of wrong on this….

I’m thinking maybe a set of black with silver Tech4 E4 would do the job.

Ordered, went for all black instead with black 203/183 rotors and black IS to post adapters

....so anyone want to buy some Magura MT8 Raceline brakes....?!

Looking good mate. Have to say, I think the dropper suits the vibe of the Moxie better than the Stooge. Looks great with the Hope post.

Am interested to hear how you find this compares to the Moxie as I currently have a 27.5 Sirius S5 and have been looking at the Stooge Mk6.

It doesn’t really compare tbh….

the Moxie is a 27.5 hardtail with all the wireless gubbins and 12 gears and way more capable than I!

This is a single speed rigid 29er with bendy bars… chalk and cheese really!

They're definitey very different, but I was just interested to know how a modern geo rigid bike compares to a capable hardtail on technical terrain. The Mk6 is really interesting as most rigid MTBs are aimed more at bikepacking whereas these seem to be competing with hardtails.
