Our pal Nate Riffle just built up a fresh bike that has us completely drooling. Wanting just a little less travel out of an Enduro 29, he had the Ohlins rear shock modified to shorten the travel down to 145mm our back and mated it to a 150mm travel RockShox Lyrik up front. Full specs and details will be listed below, but first drool over some pictures that Nate took of the finish work on the frame itself. It is truly unique.
