Clearly my performance the other day has inspired you to get a Revel Rail and run it as a mullet. Great idea and congratulations! Did you go with the burnt orange? I would!
New Bike Day!

Well I’m sure it’ll “Smash” the trails...

And it should be good for many a TREK out in the wilds.

There’s no way I’m going to keep you guys guessing until it arrives.
Will those parts fit on an ebike?
'Cause the bikes you already have are sufficient unto the day.

I’m sure all the parts will fit just fine and then a drive up to SANTA CRUZ for a first ride. Classic.

Cranks, dropper or fork travel?

A few more climbs of Mount Lowe, and I might be ready for one…
Not yet, though…

Holy Carp - you with 170 mm fork? Who are you? What happened to Steve? Wait - is this April 1?
So a singlespeed hardtail with a 170mm fork. Wowza! Better get a lockout on that thing! Serious monkey motion while standing to pedal.
BTW - I have a 170mm 2020 RS Lyrik currently resting comfortably in a box. 27.5 though.

Fenders are cool. All the cool kids have them...So I've had my new Fuel for a few months now...I love it! I was in the garage the other day taking my reflectors and dork disk off and my wife pops in...
Wife: How come you're taking those things off. You're going to put them back on right? Why would you pay all that money for the bike and take those parts off?
Me: Yeah, I guess you're right...maybe I'll put them back on to go with the handlebar streamers and fenders you're getting me for my birthday...
She's not talking to me today

That would be 140-170, I believe.
Uh oh.

Sorry, 29er only! See, it really is Steve.
I think a 160 would be sufficient. 150 for full XC mode.

Perhaps some chips and SALSA to celebrate the new bike upon its assembly completion.

But if it is in fact a steel bike, I'll only know the weight if one of you guys shows up at a ride with a scale!
no need for a scale....it’ll be heavier than the bike it’s replacing.

I was going to ask... What is the weight of the Hightower frame?
Voodoo Tom

Less than the weight of a Ripley AF frame I can tell you that...

Less than the new frame.
On-line weights put the new version right around 6 pounds. The last version came in slightly under 6...
You guys are going to make me weigh it.
