Nice... beautiful bike! That's a great color. You know what I'm the most impressed with? How perfect your cable lengths are!!! My pet peeve are bikes that look like they came from Walmart... with cable lengths that are WAY too long. Did you do this build up yourself? Or was this direct from Revel?
Definitely one of my favorite bikes in recent memory. Just not quite enough travel as a daily driver for my normal rides in Phoenix. Love the suspension. I reached out to Revel and was told adamantly that they had no plans for a longer travel bike. If they put out a 145-150 bike, I’d be all over it.
So I have to know…what are your thoughts on the DBair Kitsuma on the Rascal??? I’ve got the Helm MK2 but also have the Eleven Six which is great a lot of the time, but slightly overkill for my typical trail riding at home.
XL in the Sedona Red (best color, convince me otherwise!) built up by Pro Bike Supply in Newport Beach. GX build, Pike, i9 wheels, 1up carbon bars. Best part (besides the frame) is the holdover saddle from my 26" - I believe a transition bike company saddle that is so comfy I never want to get rid of it.
I absolutely love this bike!! I wanted One bike to rule them all and it is exactly that. I did have to take the chainguide off as I was getting rub in Eagle gear with my 32t oval chainring but not a big deal. Only upgrade I have thought about making is possibly going to 150 fork up front.
Change of pace with a little desert riding this weekend. Rascal just coasts over the rough stuff.
