The rentals cars (and my bike) were never the same after that weekend. The red clay really does NOT come out!

I like where this is going! Similar to how I feel about F1 I guess. Nobody is going to watch F1 and then go out and buy an F1 car haha BUT...the money made from marketing Red Bull, Mercedes etc. is something to be noted for sure. The viewers buy the team kit and hats and the marketing circle continues to go around.

It's just a fun way to engage isn't it? But from my perspective, if a bike doesn't fit me properly then what does it matter of the build kit is top end or if it has 170mm "enduro" travel. You can change forks and linkages sometimes to fix those issues. And if you're Henry Quinney then frame storage is a MUST! he probably chose that one.

You sound like an "average" size rider. But I agree with you in that we do have more options than ever, it's just some of us still don't have what we think is the perfect option, and that's a bummer when bikes cost as much as they do brand new.

One of my favorite bikes to date had a 66degree HTA and 120mm travel. Wish I still had it but unfortunately it didn't get much ride time out here. I did bring it to ride in Florida and Louisiana of all places, so I feel for you! That will always be my N+1 bike because they are so dang fun and fast.
