    I like the CC too because it's lighter and local....

    I imagine its because Push is a smaller company and even considered boutique. I'd go with CC for the reasons you mentioned.

    CC. Do it.

    I’ve been thinking the same thing, CC inline. As I don’t have a frame to put it on, I’m still in more ‘thinking mode’ rather than doing mode.

    My top two frontrunners of next frames would both lend well to that shock though, V4 Tallboy and SB130. All would pair up nicely will my CC coil Helm up front.

    I’m lighter news I’m looking at pictures as I watch it rain.

    Hate you missed out on that 130 frame with the warranty. I'm still keeping my eye out for you!

    Things are still fairly 'normal' in my small mountain town, as it pertains to adventure and exploration.

    To the guy asking about truck mods vs. bike mods, you have some excellent answers already. I'll second some bicycle upgrades over truck upgrades. Though I am someone who will (and has) taken my stock truck through some gnarly places without much thought.

    ~7 or so mile ride yesterday afternoon.

    Going back again this afternoon! This lock down deal has been great for my mountain biking!

    Ahhh the enchilada. No one's riding that right now, at least not where you took that picture. I guess there may be some Moab locals riding Porcupine though. Can't even go camping in Grand County right now...sigh

    are the "stay at home orders" you're all under keeping you from riding? our "orders" basically let us do everything we were doing, but specifically allow outdoor activities lol. aLaBaMa iS sMaRt

    We also have an exception in place for outdoor recreation in Utah. We're riding the trails around our house, but have been trying to minimize driving anywhere. I'm mostly bummed since it's prime desert season and we'd normally be spending every weekend riding slick rock right now. Unfortunately, it's probably gonna be really hot in the desert by the time this passes.

    Your ok to ride in Pennsylvania since it’s considered “exercise”

    The WA state stay at home order allows outdoor exercise and even mentions biking, but the intent is to be near home. The common recommendation is if you have to drive to a TH it's too far. On top of that, all state lands (including trails) are closed and many local parks and trail parking areas are closed. By letter of the order, it does appear legally you could drive to a TH and ride assuming the trail system is not closed for use.

    I do trails in Issaquah and noticed this week that someone decided to post "trail closed" signs on some sections of grand ridge trails, leaving other sections and TH "opened".
    Wondering if some citizens are on power trip..
