That black 650b is a killer looking bike, i'm in love with a Spesh bike again!

Lovely...the only thing I don't like is the swat cage thing...I do t use a bottle and would never have a cage on my bike too! But lovely details on the frame, great colours and a really good thing that Spesh has been listening to people and reverted back to the threaded BB! Malamute is going to have some sleepless nights! Lol

I had to let mine go because it was overkill. With 170mm bith ends this is suiting more of heavy aggressive enduro to medium downhill rather than the vast majority of the riding I do in reality.

Malamute is going to have some sleepless nights! Lol You're not wrong.  To try and give you some good sense... I think your bike is much nicer and the differences don't even justify from the one you already have!? And (not wanting to open the debate again but) do you actually need a bike with so much travel? One of the many good things about Ti bikes, is that you don't get obsessed into having the next year's model, when most of the time it's the frame colour that changes!? |

Lol See I'm the opposite I love the SWAT. I don't take a bag I run on only a bottle cage I would love an extra bit to put tools and stuff in. I think this is a great idea. |

And I guess that's why Spesh did it...for me it's very gimmicky, I wonder how it will last/work after say 3years of riding and mud getting around it...another thing to go wrong...I wonder how does it compromise (or not) the frame's strength in itself!?
For the majority of riding I do, 1 bottle is not enough by far! And I always carry a bag for the extra tools, food, wind proof, emergency kit, etc...so no point for me. On my commuter however this would be great! Lol
But the Swat is lasting longer than I thought it was going to...

I think the yeti is nicer, i'm just not gelling with it. It's too big IMO. Great on wide open high speed stuff, but not for my local trails. I'm speaking to the shop this week about trying the L sb5.5c. If they won't/can't do a deal on it, or it still doesn't feel right...i'll be trying the Intense Primer (130 travel) and this new E29. Gonna blow the tyres up on my old (2014 lol) E29 to take it for a spin this week too. Not wishing to sound funny buy there seems to be almost polar opposites between a w9ee flavour of 170mm travel. |

I couldn't justify dropping nearly 3K on a frame. My whole bike was £800 more
Very nice though.
