Any updates?

Hey guys! Nice write up…

One thing to keep in mind. The max rear tire size is 2.25″ if you plan to run a front derailleur. You can run as large as you would like (Like the Hans Dampf) if you set the bike up as a 1×10 or 1×9 with chainguide.

Cheers!

Looks like a Maxway made frame. Similar drop outs to my Bandersnatch minus the 12 x 142mm rear end.

I will sum this bike up like this! Every time I ride it all can do is smile like a little school kid. I have been riding for a while and have been a two9er convert for about 3yrs. I have owned and demoed many and this is a well balance all day bike. Not a race bike its a all mt. bike that’s rips down hill and just makes me smile. Oh ya the rear makes no noises!

Bolt on drop-outs? Let’s see if they hold up and do not loosen…or squeak. They do look massive and well engineered.
Even for steel, that frame is heavy for a large(at that weight I thought you would be looking at a XL or XXL).
Can’t wait to read the rest of the review!
