Saving my MTB money for a Spec Epic full squish.
The Supercaliber with the short-travel rear suspension is really attractive to me, but way out of my price range. I was also considering a BMC Twostroke (new, mid-level spec), but this Trek was too good to resist, and decided to stretch my budget a bit. Former owner had done some sexy parts upgrades (wheels, brakes, cassette), too.. I'm going to spoil the purity of the Procal a bit with a dropper post. I haven't used one, but am curious to give it a try. We're starting to see more and more riders on the XC World Cup circuit using them.
