I am riding an AL framed HARO at the moment and just got sent home from my spot because my FD got jacked and kept dropping chain.
I am 6'6" and 275 ATM... too much bottom flex... that Hammer looks like the schnizzle...
been looking at I believe SRAM has an 8 speed... 4lbs... 340% range of gears...
I am also almost sold... I can see it on a Karate Monkey, Hammer up front 8 speed in rear... no drive line worries at all...
