On the other hand, the XOXO's geometry might not be ideal to go fully-loaded.
I'm still very inclined to buy one...
My wife and I both have 650b.
She got hers because she's short. I liked it so much I got one for myself.
With large tires and a long wheelbase, they ride smoother than I thought possible.
Which is not to slight the X01 in any way, in it's time it was a fabulous bike.
