• Nope, it's functional (just about).

    I don't mind full rigid MTBs (I've owned a lot) I just don't like most 'throwbacks', retro stuff, etc.

    Just give me round steel tubes welded to each other in a double diamond OR give me a wind-tunnel tested, absolute proprietary, pain in the ass to build, you'll never find spares for it, kill or be killed machine.

  • I thought about scrambler geometry with normal frame/no funny tubes plus segmented forks.
    But I don't think that exists unless boutique or one off, and when I bought mine it was definitely on the affordable side of weird steel frames.

  • What do you use your Stooge for? I'm really tempted by a SS for duding around the woods.

  • If it suits your needs, have at it. Doesn't mean someone else won't think your perfect bike is fugly. :) I think DH bikes are ridiculous - just get a motocross bike so you don't need a chairlift. But obvs everyone rides different stuff and likes different stuff. Just like my bikes get ridiculed (I've owned a PX Zebdi ffs), everything is fair game on the internet and that's all part of the fun. :)
