Lauf had a demo day in my city. Got to take out a True Grit for a pretty long ride. I was very impressed by the frame, not so much by the fork. The fork is great in micro bumps but damping the hard hits is not happening. My Fox AX is 90% of the way there in the micro bumps with proper tuning (pills, fast rebound setting) and on the hard stuff it just crushes it. The one con I found on the frame is that it only has internal routing for rear shifter and brake hose. So you get 2 entry points on the left side of the downtube but zero entry points on the right side so you cannot run a dropper seatpost. Also the geometry is MTB like with long reach so you have a long top tube with a short stem.
Frame has a lot of clearance and can easily clear 700x45s with a lot of room left for mud.
