I’ve always loved the clean lines of the ‘strut’ bikes, my favourites were always the Yeti ASLT and Rocky Mountain Edge. Until Archangel reminded me of Dagger when he posted the old MBA review a while back (thanks!

I’m going to restore it taking the sexy MBA test bike as inspiration but using Amp forks instead of the Judys and maybe lean towards a team look with sponsor logos.
It’s gonna take a while but I’ll keep y’all updated along the way...
