Not complaining, merely dreaming...
So I think the 07 6Point is too burly for my xc/trail needs, and the 07 MKIII won't be that much of an improvement over what it is now from what I've read.
I'd like a 6 inch travel MKIII with that 68 or 69 d HA that accepts a 135mm rear quick release, weighs no more than 7 pounds for frame/rear shock (19"), and takes a 1 1/8 fork (Rock Shox Lyric, of course).
Right now, with sag, I have about 100mm rear travel left, give or take (I run 30% sag), and about 110mm on my Pike 454. That's not enough. The Ibis (carbon/$$$) is 5.5 so why can't IH make a 5.5 inch version? And I'm not one to say "but when is enough enough?" Again, not complaining. Sooooo... why not a longer travel MKIII or something in between it and the bigger 6Point?
