    Speaking of Knolly's, here is mine.

    I thought the same thing, had to look up the geo numbers, It's just a distorted photos somehow.

    Interested, but contingent on a lot of things right now.

    All you dudes with Knollys, I’m jealous. Drank with the owner at Interbike in 2010 or 2011 and rode the heck out of his demo bikes. Endorphin was my favorite of the entire expo. Glad they’ve made it to the East coast.

    Not distorted at all. Knolly places the bottom of the seat tube in front of the bottom bracket. Looks a bit different but it’s part of the suspension design

    Maximizes dropper length I’d imagine.

    It also shortens the reach quite a bit in my Warden. I have to run the saddle all the way back and switch to a 60mm stem just to make it feel as roomy as the Evil. It has been retired to the PI and is my "big" bike when I go home once a year or so.

    Interesting, I've never seen one in person. Just looks like the HTA would be much steeper than the geo chart suggests, from your picture it looks about like my old Niner CX bike.

    FYI- DuPont opened up yesterday but there is limited parking (for example, Lake Imaging Access area is still closed).

    We really want to do DuPont (Ridgeline) but not sure if we'll bee able to with Lake Imaging being closed.

    I was thinking of riding Kitsuma tomorrow but I'd tag along with yall if you want company. Do you know if the parking lot to access the waterfalls is open (dont recall the name)? Could ride Big Rock.

    Our plans are a little fluid so we're not sure. We may end up just hitting the N. GA mountains again also.

    I do miss Kitsuma though but I'm not sure if the upper parking (the top of Kitsuma) is even open.

    Check to see if Guion Farm Parking or Buck Forest Parking are open. Both options would provide for some decent XC on the way to and from Ridgeline.

    I’m not sure, I usually park at the bottom and ride up.
