I think we should both light our Talons on fire and buy a new bike!

Ignorance is bliss. I'm not setting foot on another bike until I'm ready to buy something new. I'm enjoying my bike. Got an air fork used. Gonna buy a dropper. Then it'll just be replacing as I break stuff. I just keep telling myself my bike is fun and fine, which it is. Gonna ride and build up my skillz on this shit goblin, then be worthy of a fancy new bike.

I would only say this one thing, don't upgrade your bike, keep it rideable and thats it. Don't get a dropper or anything else that won't follow you to a new frame, its not worth it.

Good advice if a new bike is in the very near future.
Not sure if a new bike is a while away. What is it worth to you to be able to enjoy your current bike a little more?
Personally, I would upgrade with used parts here and there.

I think you and Paul need to settle this and take your Talon's to Mountain Creek this summer

My 26r is slackish with a 1450mm wheelbase, haha virtually impossible to OTB...

i'm dealing with 110mm stem, and rigid. thinking body armor. i better drip some lube down the housings, otherwise i'll just pick a gear with a zip tie.
 
okay, I have a decree for the Allaire ride
Look at what you got and move down the choices if they do not apply to you (leave out road bikes and anything 650c/700c)
1) < 26er or unicycle
2) 26er rim brake
3) any 26er
4) SS in any wheel size
5) Any rigid bike
6) I only own one bike

Fake news! I loaned out the Talon rear wheel.
Also... this Sunday, I received the adaptor for the TA to QR but realized I ordered the wrong size. Got 12mm to 9mm and should have ordered 15mm to 9mm. Placed order last night and since its Aliexpress… I wont have it until next year if I am lucky 😀
In addition.... headset for 1-1/8 steer has not arrived.

I like dropling the seat out of the way but also putting it up for propped pedaling. My trails are all up down up down, so I think the dropper will be worthwhile and make riding more fun. I'm at least a full year off from buying a new bike. To me, the dropper is a must as I hate getting off and on the bike to move the seat around, but I really hate trying to go downhill with the seat fully up.
