Long TT gnardtails...
I was noticing that my Komodo has a longer TT than avg. This bike fits me really well, so I was wondering what else may be out there that is tough with a long TT.
Size Large Komodo:
ETT-24.61/625
ST-16.26/413
HA-67.5˚
CS-16.73/425
WB-44.65/1134
ST-16.26/413
Not necessarily going to buy anything, but was just curious what's available in a gnarly hardtail that will pimp a 140-160mm fork with a similarly long TT. Shorter CS would be cool, but 16.7 has been okay for me.
I was looking at the Bagger and Troof, but thought the 18" would be too small b/c of the TT:
20" bagger: ST-20 ETT-23.9" HA-67
18" bagger: ST-18 ETT-23.5" HA-67 (it has the same CS length as my Komodo)

Hardtails, señior. No-squishy.
Looks like the Carbon 456 is kinda close. I'd rather see something in steel with a dropped or rifled TT.

Now that's a heck'uv'a call there, Doug! Haven't looked at the geo of that since it was released. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Max Rear Tire Clearance 26" x 2.5"
Mmm...seat tube is a little tall. Medium would put the ETT back down to everybody else's Lg. ETT. A steel Komodo would be perfect.
