Geometry for North shore
I asked this on the reddit and I want to see what people say here, what would the best geometry be for riding the steep North shore trails?

70 degree headtube for climbing, 64.5 degree for descending. 77 degree seat tube for climbing, 72 for flat, 67 for descending. Short headtube for steep climbs, tall for descents.BC North Shore Trails, or the north shore of vancouver
This vid talks about geo difference between two bikes in your area.
This one might help.
Your riding style will come into play.

I'd buy a Canadian bike like Rocky Mountain of course. And seriously, a steep seat tube angle (75-77 degrees) to help climbing, with dropper post obviously, and slack head tube angle for gnarly descents (like 64-66 degrees or so).

The best bike to get would be a Knolly. Designed and tested here and moreover, they all ride here. Understanding the nuances is a big deal. Making your pivots to last bad weather is not something most do. Don't think because a bike is from a company "from here" that it is going to be good. Rocky has a larger base to think about, as does Norco or Kona. Devinci and Banshee are good too. There are some smaller bike companies coming out too.....not my style but the ones from Forbidden are interesting.
Geo is key. 64HT with a 75/76STA is important for pedalling up and descending. Not spoken much these days is the build quality; at one time you found out about a company's warranty integrity if you rode here. Ask Ellsworth about the Joker on that one.

I am watching Norco to see if the new fluid will have more suspension as I want more, I would have loved to get a norco sight but it is too much for what I want to save up.The best bike to get would be a Knolly.

Sometimes you just got to start selling stuff on Facebook Marketplace. Little things add up to more than you think.
I am 14 so saving $3800 is already a lot for me.Sometimes you just got to start selling stuff on Facebook Marketplace. Little things add up to more than you think.
I think most bikes today will work with the Vancouver North Shore. I see all kinds of different bikes up there (Norco, Santa Cruz, Intense, Rocky Mountain....etc... everything).
I also feel any trail/AM bike I get will be a significant upgrade as I have a 2010 Norco Katmandu right now.I think most bikes today will work with the Vancouver North Shore. I see all kinds of different bikes up there (Norco, Santa Cruz, Intense, Rocky Mountain....etc... everything).

I remember riding my first specialized rockhopper hardtail on the shore 20 years ago. It is so much less life threatening on today's wonderbikes.
That's a great bike. Just go and buy it already.I am looking at the Devinci Troy Alloy Deore which is a canaidian brand and they hand make their bikes
Ok, I am just trying to be sure it is a good purchase for meThat's a great bike. Just go and buy it already.
Since you're young why not jump in the deep end and do a build.I am 14 so saving $3800 is already a lot for me.
You'll get help. Mezzer fork. Build your own wheels with Sapim Lasers, 350 hubs, BTLOS carbon rims.
I would but Isn’t it more expensive to do that? and I don’t see many aluminium frames that you can buy aloneSince you're young why not jump in the deep end and do a build.

My link is an aluminum frame for sale in a Medium. $1000 off the price. f you shop for parts you can find good prices and get what you want. Often better than a complete bike.I would but Isn’t it more expensive to do that? and I don’t see many aluminium frames that you can buy alone
