Nice! I used to ride the Pleasanton Ridge daily for years and got chased by the ranger helicopter many times, lol. He actually landed once next to me but I didn't see him in time and rode off.
I've had my Crestline 50/75 (1,500 miles) and 75/50 (1,800 miles) for 8 months now and plan on purchasing a 3rd when the new batch comes out. I plan to keep all 3 for the next year. Best bikes I have owned hands down! Best customer service ever!
I did use the SC Bullit numbers as I think they are close. I'm 130lbs and run the following Ohlins settings.
Fork
Main Chamber = 80psi
Ramp Up Chamber = 160psi
Rebound = 10
Compression = Wide Open
Shock
Main Chamber = 160psi
Rebound = 9
Compression = Wide Open
I found this to be pretty helpful with setting up my Ohlins suspension on my Crestline.

I woud ping Crestline and ask about options of shipping direct to a local bike shop. Are you located near a Worldwide Cyclery? I had my 1st Crestline shipped to them and had a great experience! My 2nd Crestline I had shipped direct to me and was also a great experience. If I have any issues with...
Just wanted to provide an update for both my Crestline bikes. I received my Crestline 50/75 and 75/50 3 months ago and have ridden 600 miles on each bike. Hands down the best bikes I've ever ridden. The suspension geometry/kinematics for both bikes are spot on! I'm 6ft 1in tall and ride the...
I do hear the rattle from the Bosch motor and think it's on par with the Shimano EP8 rattle. I do wish it was silent but used to it now and can live with it. The performance is well worth it!
It did take me a little of time to set up the shifters/brake position on the bars but was able to get...
I just measured by myself and came out to 24 inches. I trust Troydon and Crestline's recommendation on sizing. The biggest reason why I didn't go with the RH4 is because of the 480mm seat tube vs the 450mm on the RH-3. Not sure where you are located but if anywhere near Lake Tahoe feel free to...
I'm 6ft 1in tall with a 34in inseam. The RH3 is a perfect fit on both the 50/75 and 75/50. I rode S5 Levo's and XL Santa Cruz bikes and prefer the fit of the Crestlines.
Bike stoke is back! Finally had a chance to put some miles on both bikes and couldn't be happier!
Bike purchase experience: I received amazing service direct from Crestline (Troydon) and also Worldwide Cyclery. They both will go above and beyond to assist you. Very impressed!
