I mean, I was talking about getting one maybe 3 years ago but I wasn't that committed. Now I'm actually riding them, it's been maybe 3months and most of the delay is me trying to catch up on 20 years of MTB tech and the rest is everything being out of stock. OTP ftw
Having seen how long it took you to pick a MTB, I think the custom cycling (cottage) industry just breathed a massive sigh of relief.
