29"er reviews in Dirt Rag

[cursivearmy]

hello all, just made the jump to these new forums dirt rag was cool enough to set up, always good to have another. thanks dirt rag.

so, i was thinking, hey maurice, since you rode the Speedgoat 29"er and had a nice time, how about a 3 or 4 29"Er bike review sometime in DR? would this be cool? you could review the Titus from Speedgoat, and some other 29"er, and i'll send you guys me Matt Chester Mutinyman 29"er to test as well, but you have to send it back sometime.

seems like people might like to see some of these rigs in Printed publication form, as a viable option. plus my MC is a 17.5" frame and you could say that is on the smaller side of the spectrum, but man does it rip.

oh well, just a suggestion, thanks for the great rag.

over and out

Well, we've got the Karate Monkey coming up in issue 103, been working on trying to get a Gary Fisher, Speedgoat is building up an asylum for review, and of course if you want to send that Matt Chester, I'm sure someone here would be glad to ride it. Better let me check on that one first. We've done a Willets in the past, maybe it's time to do another. Thanks for the help.

Hi Maurice. Liked the review of the KM. Sounds like you used it exactly the way it was intented. Noticed you didn't review the White Brothers 1.0. As far as I can tell, you are the first magazine to have tried it. Your opinion please?:confused:

Well, I didn't review the White Bros yet 'cause it's too early, but it seems to work just fine now that I've put the heavier spring in. 100mm of travel, smooth, pretty stiff. I just need to ride a Marzocchi or something else so I can compare them.
