    What do I buy now?

    I think there is a significant difference in carbon quality. I fly some carbon fiber RC planes and the ones from Europe the carbon/epoxy is much better than the stuff from China. It is hard to tell on the internet. I have a 2013 Santa Cruz Blue I had custom built, the quality of parts vs the...

    That Nicolai is a work of art for sure. The CNC parts and welding are really nice. The gearbox/belt drive are really well engineered. I am looking a the G1 on their site as well, really nice rear coil shock.

    New Here I have two Mountain Bikes

    This is my 2013 Santa Cruz Blur XC which I had custom built back then. It is a small frame with 26" wheels. I just bought an ebike, Canyon Spectral on CFR but still love my Santa Cruz as well. This bike is really light, under 22 lbs. I wanted to convert it to an e-bike but was advised against...
