I managed to finish building up my demo Horror Taxi frame before Mt Snow... And I have a crush on it.

It comes in right around 23.5 pounds with the build on it, which is a little bit more "all mountain" than my typical team bike spec. It's my first steel mtb in nearly a decade, but my 3rd 650b bike!

It's a little bit shorter and "woodsier" than my Darkside, and for some reason, it makes me want to build a 650b slalom bike. Jay from EWR was thinking the same thing when we were chatting this weekend. If Notubes made a 650b Flow, I'd be on it in a heartbeat too. Tons of fun!

That is a pretty bike!

Did you have to modify the fork?

No Modifications necessary, one of the many things I like about the X-fusion fork is the fact that it works fine with 650b's
