Trek 970 | | Bike Setup: |
19 Darkside; XTR Drivetrain, brakes; RaceFace everything else; Mavic Crossmax wheels; Ritchey ZMax tires; RSHX Judy SL | | Bottom Line: | Ideal bike for east coast singletrack. Great for climbing, log-hopping. Everyone asks What's a Spooky? 3 years of hard riding by 190 lb. guy, no signs of stress (on the bike at least!) | Overall Rating: |

None that compare...
M2 Stumpy
Schwinn s96.1
etc. | | Bike Setup: |
Everything Raceface has to offer, XTR, Altek, etc. | | Bottom Line: | Frame geometry is excellent for technical singletrack. The long top tube and short chainstay make it an excellent climber. The high bottom bracket clearance pretty much eliminates grinding the chainring over logs or rocks. Worth the high cost. | | Overall Rating: |
