Oh my fuck, that is awesome @grahamanator!
How does the new geometry feel? I hear the raked it out a bit.
@JeffV I’m really enjoying it so far. The BB height (low) is taking a little getting used to but the bike doesn’t feel raked out or clumsy in the tight stuff. Climbing is a bit more “brute force” than my old bike but as long as you have a little momentum it seems to want to go anywhere. It is quite a hoot when you get it rolling, I was a little concerned it wouldn’t be playful but I’m finding myself hopping bumps I never have before.
All in all I’m a happy camper and you can’t beat the price. Similar spec’d bikes seemed to be $800-900 more.
Been meaning to post this for a while. Seen near Kingdom Trails in Vermont.Not my bike, but since it’s with wood, or IN wood…

Large 2013 Carve HT. Mostly stock exept for XT 1x10, 720mm bars, cheap ass chinese 70mm stem,
completey shagged 100mm reba fork. I still ride this a lot actually, mostly gravel stuff, but sometimes I will ride it at Fight to remind myself how fun a HT can be. I run 45nrth studded on it in the winter. Plan is for this to get my Fox32 off the Camber this winter and get a 34 or Pike for the Camber.

Just added this baby to my collection today! 2014 Norco Bigfoot. Mostly stock.
It’s nice to finally be able to say “what bike do I want to take out today?” Haha.

Very nice Chris!
I have a couple schwinns set up like that. What size cog do you have in the back?
I think I’m running a 22 in the back-biggest I could find at the time. I think the front is a 36. Used an American to euro bb adapter so I could run a more modern crankset.
