Looks awesome. I love it, but that may be a bit too much travel for around here.

Interesting.  I had a Stumpjumper ST that was an enigma. Looking at in on paper, the reach was way too short. I wouldn't even consider a bike with that reach today. But everytime I got on it, it felt great. I also had extremely lower level suspension on it, but it ate up everything.  It was to the point I asked the shop where I bought it if they did some special tune on the fork. They thought I was crazy.

Also whenever I went up hill I could feel a lot of bobbing. I always thought it was eating up all my speed. But then I would check Strava and despite the feel, I was really moving up the hill. I never understood how that bike should have sucked, but felt so great. I loved it. And I dont like Specialized really. Ive demoed super expensive bikes, and I liked the cheap Stumpy ST as much as all of them.

That EVO clone is kind of interesting.

Although the number of people that say they are participating in this group buy is pretty high, you have to think the actual number will be a bit lower due to some dying of old age by the time the frame drops.

I'd love to have a TItan. They look amazing. But the price is what brings me here. I am a serious budget bike.

Is that orange? It's too hard to tell on these little swatches. That's why I was hoping Eddie could provide some samples.

I like that orange a lot. But I wonder if it's a little darker in real life. I might go with that, or maybe a little lighter.

Of course that depends on the cost of painting it. I'm not opposed to just carbon black.

I'm a clyde and also in on the group buy. Guess I'll find out.
