This is my old old school alloy Megatrail. Used to run 170/165 coil. A super fun and capable bike that was excellent at just about everything. The small wheels made it super agile. But after a couple of capable 29ers I couldn’t get away from the fact that despite the wheel size difference they were very similar in category.
I’d been eyeing off MattyP’s Optic for a while and thinking a short travel bike would be the go.
A cheap shock came up on Market place which gives it 145 rear travel and the frame also has secondary shock mount so it can reduce it to 135mm and also steepen the head angle and lift the bb if I’m feeling really sporty, and 20 minutes with the Mezzer had the travel reduced to 150 and there it was. A short travel ripper.
First ride out tomorrow. Hoping it’s not a short lived novelty and I use it on some more traily trails like Cascades etc.
