I chose to build a geared hardtail because its one bike that I haven't had for a long time. It'll be half DJ half trail riding with the following geo:
69 HA, 73 SA, -25mm BB, 23.5" TT, 16" CS designed around a tapered Marzocchi and a 30.9 dropper post.
Made friends with the locals Ron, Adam, Nick, Wyatt and others. Thanks so much to Ron and Adam for helping me get around and for building a great dirt park.
