Well, it's more of a "different experience". I wanted a rigid MTB for a while now and the old Raleigh isn't cutting the mustard. This one will be more of an actual MTB. It'll be fun on the right trail. (as long as it's slack enough) The Mag 21 is sorta bent so it steers weird. The Instigator fork will be 2" taller and I plan to do another Tank headset which will put it up there another 10mm more. (ish) Should give me a 69ish HA, I hope. I think with an 80mm fork, this one is supposed to be around 71. The Instigator fork is taller than an 80mm susp fork.
I'm liking the slackness and taller front end on the other Komodo.
