I'm afraid that simply posting that question here means you're already infected, it is incurable so only thing left is to satisfy those urges - they are perfectly natural and we are here for you.
I wasn't in great shape, I'm still not in great shape, but I normally ride 2k-4k at 500ft/mile. I use a 34x23 ratio. Your legs get used to it and then your knees and back will thank you.
Honzo ST is a great bike. The ti version is even better... it sure does suck to have to buy twice...
Sort of the wrong place to ask but at 6 foot, I'd recommend a Large no doubt. Standover isn't an issue on a frame with a low TT so I imagine you'd be fine there. A large is probably the proper size.
I know two guys on Honzo's that are 5'9" ish, and another who's 5'10" or 11 that's on a Large.
This may be a short-lived experiment, since I can really appreciate both higher and lower gears on this bike, but I've been dying to try it. If we don't get more rain, testing will commence in the morning...

Any have recommendations for a 27.5 ss hardtail? Hoping to run a 120/130 fork on it. Besides that I'm all ears. Already know about the Soma B-side and Kona Explosif.
I recently converted my race bike and made other changes as well.
'17 Scott Scale 900RC now was 120mm SID RCT3, Purgatory/Ground Control 2.3" and 36/18 gearing. In the stand, without a chain tensioner, the chain tension was perfect but after one ride it has slightly stretched and I have since installed one(just in case).
