My SS build started off as a cheapy, and now it consumes more money than all my other bikes.

Wouldnt mind replacing the frame on my XC hardtail with a first gen Trance frame, Im on the lookout for a medium.
Will aim to make it a bit different with custom paint, and save for a nice wheelset. Maybe this full suspension fad might stick around a bit longer?
