I love my Sherpa. Possibly my favourite bike ever. Very similar colour to yours…Misty blue?? Can’t wait to see it built up .

Super cool

1. When they itemise all of the upgrades and add the full value to the asking price (like modding cars, it doesn't work that way. Especially when all of the "upgrades" are hanging off a garbage frame like a Polygon). 2. "Best bike I've ever ridden" - usually said by a 14 year old or a COVID...

That or "Custom". Usually used on a 2017 Giant Trance...stock build with purple grips and pedals. $5,500.

Wet stromlo grit is the most abrasive substance known to man ;)

Yep, no more plastic bikes for me #steelisreal. Someone mentioned PNW…have two rainiers that came in cardboard packaging, online only manuals, easily user serviceable and not disposable (reverb). The v1 would have well over 10,000kms on it and still runs mint. Needs to be more of this.

Final price drop - $4,000.

And that’s why I don’t think I’d bother again. I’ve never had issues with alloy nips on alloy wheels before. But even then , if I was doing it myself from scratch I’d be going with brass for any rim

I love DT hubs, but once you’ve ridden i9 you won’t go back to low engagement DTs. Weight difference between the carbon and alloy i9 enduro s wheels in 29 inch is apparently 130 grams. How much would that gap narrow once you rebuild the carbon with brass nips? My last set of carbon Reynolds...

Caught some of it. Came across as an absolute cooker.

So...titanium is the correct answer?

Price drop $4,500

On my stanton sherpa I tested a 100mm, a 120mm and a 130mm. Like the 120mm the most. The change in geometry on a hardtail with a fork longer than about 130mm feels too extreme for me. I suppose you'd get use to it and anticipate it. Hardtails are feckin sweet though. Make boring trails fast...

Bought some hutchy tyres off them a few weeks ago...was thinking about grabbing some more but this is a bit off-putting.

Price drop $4,800

The place is honestly a write-off at this point.

Item: Pivot Trail 429 (Large) Basic specs are: -Factory 34 and DPS -Transfer 150mm dropper post -Reynolds black label carbon wheels with industry nine hubs -XX1 carbon cranks -Pivot carbon bar -2 pot XT brakes -XT 11 speed drivetrain -New Assegai front , barely used e13 SS rear...

Looks aside...how were those hutchy krakens?

I feel much the same way. Built up a steel hardtail which is what I mostly ride nowadays, random trails no one else rides or remote fireroads. Also grumpy and old.
