I built up, have loved and ridden my 2007 Bianchi Oetzi MTB for the last 6 years. It’s a full CF 26" hard-tail, SID Race, full XT/XTR drivetrain with Crissmax SL wheelset and tubeless Maxxis High Rollers. I love her and she does everything I need for Dallas trails. BUT a buddy/client owns a bike shop in Austin and has some crazy new Giant rigs coming out. I think these FS Giant 27.5 might help me to handle the trails better than my HT when riding/racing groups all on FS.
That said, I love the uniqueness of my Oetzi. So the point of the post- does anyone else have a Bianchi Oetzi or know someone that does? I’ve never seen another one out there and just curious.
