whoa hopped back on the mod after 7 days of riding the 26.... now I feel more at home on a week old bike than either of my other 3 bikes i've had for over 3.5 years each.
the wider bar is good.
I'd like to try one of the new style mods which are longer than the 221.
26 feels very stable on the rear when coming up to a big drop.
still can't surge anywhere near as high, due to the extra height and length involved with the bigger wheels.
still can't ride thin stuff with proper balance, not used to the extra height.
if you'se are riding anytime in the next 2 weeks i'm up for it (incl dwellingup)
