Selling my Knolly warden LT/168...It is built up and all the parts were chosen for durability and monster-trucking, while still prioritizing a playful, relatively lightweight, fun ride. I'm about 5 foot 10, plenty big for a 29er, but I chose the 27.5 for the playfulness, maneuverability, etc. I love how this bike rides, and I really didn't notice much difference in climbing from the 29er. Feels so much better on the downhill. This bike absolutely shreds everything on Tiger, 27, Galbraith, etc. Super poppy, but soaks up the rough stuff like a champ. Perfect build for having fun and keeping it loose and playful on the world class local trails around here.
