Yeah I have ridden it but the rear shock killed itself so not as much as I would like. The shock was a lightly used one I bought that had been left on a shelf for a couple of years.
I fell a bit of out love with it as the wait was ages as well and went back to the hardtail and I just love the simple life of it but I can appreciate the FS on big days out.
My head angle is around 60degress less with sag (58-59) with a 160mm fork so I need a slackset to take 2 degrees out to get it to around 62. I would definitely steepen that seat angle a bit on the one above. At least 76 but I would go more personally to 78. They ae also a bit of a pain to get front chain guides mounted onto without fouling.
Where are your local trails? The 140mm Geometron did my local stuff amazing well but also really excelled at places like Fort Bill and Golfie.
