Congrats on the bike. When I built my Trek 970 people thought I shouldn’t have spent the money on a 26er. But I really like it. As the years have rolled along I’m riding less technical and have gearing benefits climbing with a 26 inch tire.

Totally different world that requires crazy skills. Never got as good as I wanted, took a lot of spills, tore up my shoulder, but great fun.
Only regret was not starting when I was 30.
