anyone in the vancouver area who would be willing to show me the new decoy 29 in a large or xl? having a bugger of a time finding one and can't bring myself to order without seeing one first - also I'm in-between sizes at L/XL - message me and I''ll bring a six pack for ya of whatever you want.

@Martini - Sorry I can't help you but would definitely appreciate if you could post your opinions if you get to try both. I'm similarly on the cusp at 5'10" (178cm) and torn between the two sizes.

What do you currently ride/size?

 

[Martini]

A large Santa Cruz blur - pretty cramped - not very downhill friendly
I’ll keep you posted

Reach on that SC (L) is within 2mm of Decoy (L)....that will be interesting to hear your thoughts.

I've tried a L Spec.Levo Comp and M Devinci DC. Levo seemed about right but Devinci seemed just a little short which doesn't make sense on paper the Devinci is 5mm longer reach. But who knows there are lots of other factors in play.

Good luck on the search!

I'm actually on the fence with the c70 instinct powerplay by Rocky as well, pretty much the same price and a super strong motor - took one for a little dig yesterday. have you looked at these?

 

[Jeffsy29]

@Martini No I’ve not looked at the Rocky mtn bikes. A bit beyond what I’d like to spend for the build spec. That’s just what’s so tasty about YT and some other DTC bikes. Also I’m a bit heavy at 260# so max payload specifications rule out a lot of the competition outside of YT and Giant Reign for me at least.

That's a nice bike as well, but for around here I'd much rather go for the Decoy with the extra travel.
