He said he had concerns about the quality of the frame. His next bike was a full suspension, 26-inch Trek Remedy. Pretty much the opposite of the Blackbuck. I think he got sick of riding the rigid bike--his body was feeling the bumps from rocky, rooty trails. I remember him saying he wanted to have fun riding again--so the big, squishy bike it was.
cool thanks. It's funny because I've gone from a Karate Monkey, to a Niner One 9, to a Niner SIR 9, to a Salsa El Mariachi, to a Seven Ti, to a ti custom, to a GF Rig, and now to a OS Blackbuck. Guess I have the same disease. :)
I think I will be keeping the Blackbuck for a long time (famous last words)

wow, that was fast! One question, why did your husband get rid of the OS frame? Just curious.

He also mentioned today something about a narrow bottom bracket may have made it a bit flexy.

The Blackbuck is a cool looking bike...not many people have one. I hope you keep it for a long time too.
