    Be interested to hear what you think about the Bronson with regards to difference/similarities etc with the Nomad

    I swapped out the Havoc for a Haven bar and have a chain guide on order with Fullerton bikes. I want a new stem and possibly a new saddle. I rode on a charge spoon saddle for 5 years and loved it... Might have to pick another one up if the WTB doesn't ease up.. Haha

    other than that I'm happy with everything on the bike!

    With the x-Fusion and Kendas I am wondering of you simply stole Lopes' bike?

    Nice looking rig. I checked out the numbers on their XL - it fits.

    Come on Chris, don't get a case of Mo-itis.. you can't be an ambassador for Knolly if you're riding Intense! :)

    My next trailbike will most likely be a plastic Knolly with slightly oversized wheels in 2015. That said, I can't be a very good ambassador if I haven't tried the other top bikes! Gotta get on some demos this summer.

    I demoed lots of 650Bs and this is the one that made me smile the most. The suspension is amazing. The slack head angle inspires so much more confidence on the steep stuff, yet still climbs reasonable.

    Pivot Mach 6, Fox Float X shock, Rock Shox Pike fork, DT350/WTB i23 wheels, Maxxis Ardent 2.4/2.25 tires, X01/XX1/Wolftooth drivetrain, XT brakes, Reverb.
