^^ The Nimble 9 deserves its name. Two key differences to the Vassago: a) easier to get around tight switchbacks, b) don't need to lean back so far on steep climbs to keep traction on the rear wheel. Both result from 16.25 inch chainstays I think. Other nice features are a front end that is easier to lift and a little slacker at the same time. I am runining the rigid fork, but with a 120 suspension fork I think the lower headangle would become much more pronounced. Only issue is that the chainstays are a bit wide and I tend to hit them with my heals occasionally - does not bother me much, but over time I will lose some paint on them. Absolutely no regrets on retiring the Vassago. |
