Don't know if I talked about it much here, but I do like to test new ideas in bikes before jumping in. I'm not generally conservative, but I am an engineer, and tend to approach complex concepts a piece at a time. Chunk it up, then solve the chunks. There are always several excellent examples of finished bikes at all ends of the spectrum. In trail it's (among others) Riv versus Boxdog or Boulder. Plus at the time, I was lusting for a Boxdog Pelican or Boulder, and just recently back into a job, working. The first gen Pelican had geometry nearly identical to my Trek 610 except for a little lower BB and the fork rake. Tube lengths and main angles were the same. Why not just make the change?
But part of the fallout due ot the delay is that I really enjoy riding my Mondonico, and think maybe instead I should spend $$ on a new go-fast, like a Mondonico EL-OS, or a Roadeo.
