    Mine was $300 at bike bling. Its more $ than most others but a better value IMO given the greater range of travel and all the problems I've read about with other brands of posts.

    The bike I rode (i.e. Talas 36/ 2.3" Nevegal's) had a bottom bracket height at or *barely below* 13.75"...

    My opinion: Perfect!
    I normally look at bottom bracket numbers with great interest... In this instance, the number didn't matter. The bike "felt" low... It railed corners the way I like... Felt well grounded...

    if they didn't tweak BB height for the new ones, then it should be just south of 13.75" for a standard 6" fork. Mine is exactly 13.75 with a 565mm A2C (totem or boxxer), but it is a large, and the BB height will be higher if using a bigger fork on a smaller size.

    dino: yeah, the bike rails corners well. but if you want low, ask someone to borrow an M6 sometime :lol:

    Trek might have changed my mind on getting a Reign
