I am going to be real honest here, there is a lot of personal bias in my thoughts on this bike.  I worked with Adam, one of the Why Cycles owners years ago and he has turned into a great friend along with being a former co-worker.  With that being said, having worked with him during the start up at his first bike company, I was able to witness first hand how he designs bikes and I was able to see what drives him which is what had me intrigued by his newest company making all ti bikes.  Adam simply builds the bikes he wants to ride personally and because he truly loves this sport like many of us, he is able to get other people stoked on his bikes pretty easily.  I personally have never been a carbon guy and always had a soft spot for both ti, and even more so, hardtails that lean more toward the "send it" category than the XC racer category which is where I really feel this bike delivers.  Despite my personal bias, I did pay for this frame, it was not a freebie to try and butter me up for a good review.
