Additional Info

This is my dream hardtail! I asked David Mercer to help me get the perfect geometry for a trail shredding hardtail. It is built around a 150mm Fork, It is Long as I am pretty tall and off the shelf hardtails never seem to be long enough.

The frame is raw finish to show up the beautiful Fillet Brazed Welds! and there is a clear coat over, that has a few sparkles that show up in the sun.
