Dropouts? Geometry? Bad-ass color choice? Or will everyone's questions be answered when the final review is done?

You get to run 10k (ouch), bike 20k (oh joy), and then xc skate ski 12k (fun, with fresh legs). I just got a text message from a colleague, streets are icey now. Yesterday I nearly drowned on my commute. About this fork...really, just $90? I happen to trust GT's opinion, so it's a great addition to the 29" offerings! But at 465/45mm, on which bikes would it have a good place? MAaybe on a pre-G2 Fisher, the ones with the high BB, if you want halfway-G2, quickish handling? Oh, Misfit, offer that fork for G2 and Fisher owners will be all over you! Riding on snow is so fun to me, I’m trying to pick up winter triathlon.

That said, we've got an almost 65 degree day here today, so there's not even a hint of snow to be found anywhere! Incredible... I bet that Misfit is a fun bike.

Haha. Riding over snow piles, were we. It's all good. Winter is a great time to work on technical, and trials-like riding skills. Even crashing can be fun in snow. If I can ever afford it, I'm getting one of these for my girl. Thanks to Misfit for offering small sizes, and for being truly northern, strong and free.
