Amazing looking bike. Gorgeous. Congratulations!

Ack! Sorry everyone  it sure is a beauty, and in my size. Bit of an issue with "desktop view" brought me to the wrong thread

Yours in embarrassment,

I'm right on the lower rung of PBH range for this size (83 cm PBH, 180 cm height). wondering if you find you need to lower the saddle for off-road descents or if the long length of the bike negates the need for that? 

[Ben Hannon]

No, definitely don’t feel the need to lower the saddle. The long bike helps a lot and there’s two hand positions with the bars, so it’s pretty to move your center of gravity back with the grip position on descents.

I agree! But not so much due to the length. My very short stem negates that. But the stack & bars well above  the seat negate the need for a dropper. Just the opinion of an old man still riding a rigid MTB.:)
