Re: Welcome to Chinertown - Introduce Yourself! Howdy folks,

Ron from Denver, CO here.  My 16 yr. old son has informed me that he's "inheriting" my old race bike (a 2000 Intense Tracer, heavily upgraded) and that we're going to start riding together now that we've moved back to the U.S.  Could any father be prouder?  But, I need a bike now and, because COVID, there's nothing to be found so I started looking at building up a Chinese titanium or carbon full-suspension 29er.  In addition to everything changing since I've been gone - press-fit BBs?  tapered steering tubes? dropper posts? no titanium frames to speak of??? - I've noticed that anything bike related has gotten crazy expensive.  I've built up almost every bike I have, and designed a couple of them (geometry, etc.)...so that part for me is fun.  But, man, I'm having some trouble finding the trust to make a purchase which is why I'm here.

My goal is to build up a 29er downcountry (or light trail i guess) bike with an active rear suspension design (4-bar, dw-link preferred unless someone talks me out of it).  I am hoping to find recommendations and testimonials from other riders here so that I can build up something I can brag about to my friends who were able to acquire their $7000 tallboy/trail 429/SB115 bikes before lockdown hit.

Looking forward to chatting with some of y'all!
