I rode a friend’s last week and ordered one. It should be at the shop Tuesday and I am hoping to get it built up before the long weekend.
I loved it on my test ride. It is only 20cm longer than my LHT and fits and rides just like my Troll. Although the slack seat tube looks funny (especially with the “effective bottom bracket” behind the seat tube), I think that this really helps with sizing flexibility. Being able to use the dropper to quickly adjust for me and my wife is a big selling point. Although we are exactly the same height, I usually ride a 48-50cm frame due to my short legs and she normally rides a 52 or 54 due to long legs.
I ordered the medium. It looks like the sizing for the Skid loader is XS, S, and L although the published sizing is S, M, and L. My guess is that the sizing is “tiny mom”, “regular mom/short dad”, and “Dad/Tall mom”. Fortunately, regular mom/short dad will fit both of us.
