    Clearly my performance the other day has inspired you to get a Revel Rail and run it as a mullet. Great idea and congratulations! Did you go with the burnt orange? I would!

    Close!

    I did narrow the final few contenders to frames that would handle 170mm…

    I’m sure all the parts will fit just fine and then a drive up to SANTA CRUZ for a first ride. Classic.

    Holy Carp - you with 170 mm fork? Who are you? What happened to Steve? Wait - is this April 1?



    So a singlespeed hardtail with a 170mm fork. Wowza! Better get a lockout on that thing! Serious monkey motion while standing to pedal.

    BTW - I have a 170mm 2020 RS Lyrik currently resting comfortably in a box. 27.5 though.

    Sorry, 29er only! See, it really is Steve. :geek:

    I think a 160 would be sufficient. 150 for full XC mode.

    Nah, slacker had a dream it was all about gears and suspension travel....

    I suggested a ZEB 170mm for the complete experience. He told me to pipe down about it.

    What do I know.

    But if it is in fact a steel bike, I'll only know the weight if one of you guys shows up at a ride with a scale! :cautious: :p

    On-line weights put the new version right around 6 pounds. The last version came in slightly under 6...

    You guys are going to make me weigh it. :cautious:
