sawheet. I'm glad you enjoyed the ride Mikie. I keep getting faster and faster with mine as I become more comfortable. If you ever want to pop down to OC for a ride, you can borrow my 29r wheelset setup and try the bike out with that as well. Let me know as it's easy for me to swap back and forth between my + setup and my 29r setup.

Yep... He can try mine, as well! But, he may want to bring his own cassette. :p

Santa Cruz Hightower 27.5+ Bike Review​
Things I Hate...
  • The Santa Cruz head tube emblem is by far the cheapest and cheesiest I have ever seen. To buy a bike of this caliber I would expect a classy emblem like a Yeti (which is first class by the way.) This is petty I know, but I really hate the current emblem.

For the record, I'm 100% okay with the head badge, mainly because it has one! Pet peeve of mine is bikes being sold that only have a decal instead of a proper head badge. Put something up there, anything and I'm fine with it. Yeti and Moots have the best ones AFAIK, but Ibis is okay, and the S.C. industrial minimalism is fine.

A proper head badge should be required of any bike costing more than $99.95. It's what America was built on!

This is true.....I kinda like the industrial look of the square head badge. It is a lot better than the old decals that they used to have. Plus it is easy to clean.

Looks like it came one a washing machine... or a really nice stationary gift set.

At least this is better!

Remember....from your point of view, the head badge doesn't matter...it's not like you can see it when you are doing what you are supposed to be doing.....riding it, no looking at it. :thumbsup:

They used to just slap a decal on them.....the SC Bike guy:
