Coconino Cycles

[treadonme]

As the person w/that uber black Coconino, this has to be said:

I don’t know what Garro does w/the geometry, tube selection, alignment, joining, etc., but out of the saddle sprinting BMX-style it takes off and seems to have some kind of assist as you get to 3/4 spun out. It's weirdly alive, and I'm not sure I've ever felt something that noticeable in an MTB. It's not planing, it's not noodle y, it's not crazy torsionally stiff, but something is going on.

And it carves at speed, really carves. Both wheels locked in, and if you get your weight back and lower a hair more, with just a touch of rear brake the back end comes loose just enough to smoothly tighten things up. Again, all of this is happening while really hauling.

Thanks Steve. You and the bike you made are badass.
