Slacc is what you are used to

Short chainstays are fun

Stacc is the bar height

Reach is the top tube corrected for seat/head tube length - long upper body needs a big reach

 

I have long chainstays but had to compromise for a higher bar since I am so long legged.  Long chains work great in the winter though as they float easy

The Lenz Fatillac is not on the list and is super slacc with short  chainstays

Plus I could use another lac

can also slaccen a bice by adding more length on the suspension fork on the front as well

The ice cream trucc will get shorter in your size  The list above included these in XXL instead of XL.  Forgot to warn you about that.

Jagamoasta

El Gordo

Huraxdax

Moonlander

Ice Cream Truck

Once you know what you like it is easy to nearly buy blindly from the list above.  Obviously double checking your size and knowing what the compromise is helps a ton.

Wish you were tall enough to ride mine.

Stop drinking and typing, Sean.

Yeah! And I thought I told you guys no bike talk. I'm going to report you to the admins if you keep it up!

I mostly did it on the phone and in text, but pasting big tables in text I am not going to do.

Still pissed at my keyboard.  Aargh.  I pucking HATE laptops.

My $350 laptop is still doing just fine

I use mine on average 15 hours a day 5x a week and a good 6 hours on the other.  Kills a laptop in 2 years no matter the quality to begin with.

Was cranking on SSA until 10:30 last night.  With stuff made in Chiner now, there is some timing payments and emails I have to worry about.

So much data Sean.

 

So much.

Just lanced a blister on my foot that got infected. Holy shit does that feel amazing.

I thought I bruised a bone or footpad. Nope... Just a little Blister that caused massive inflammation it looks like

 

WTF

Let me simplify it.

Go ride an Ice Cream Truck & Moonlander.  Let me know which one you like better and why

ICT was my plan.  And thank you so much.  I make jokes but I'm incredibly grateful.  

 

I'm not able to test as much as I would normally.  Only 4 days in 2 months that I haven't been to work and one of those 4(this upcoming Thursday) I'm going to WI for a funeral.

 

I'm stressed and spread thin.  I can't wait to take out my anger on Some pedals.  I'll be down to my goal weight in weeks I bet.

All my suits need new waists.  I'm waiting until I loose Some more.

I lost a pretty girl and a pile of cats by weight

 

I can't wait until I have lost a Sean worth of human. 

Once I get my belly flat I'm never going to wear a shirt again.

Sean did you get your CIEMs yet???

They are supposed to be here this week.  Came in last Thursday and in final test they smoked a driver   Thought they shipped last week....you are making me want to call!

I am curious as to your reactions.  My headtube is like the Moonlander not the ICT.  I don't care about slack though.  Perhaps it is a bike size thing, but I've never been on a fat bike I thought was twitchy period.  I do much prefer short chainstays, but I like to be in the air and it takes way less effort to manual a short cs bike.  That all being said it isn't like some effort is bad for me anyways.

Rode 18mi last week to Aidan's soccer camp pulling him on a trailer.  That is a workout.

To me the most important spec is stack.  I need the bars up high as I am not flexible and my legs are so damn long that fitting on a normal bike I end up with my bars 8" below my seat which is NOT comfortable.

For you with a long torso reach would be.  Sure slackness effects the overall reach, but just having a long distance from the Bottom Bracket to the bars will be huge in you not feeling cramped.

You like downhill bikes, they are slack...  CS you will notice more on flat ground when you try to pull up the front wheel.
