Nice! This bike is the peak of MTB geometry. All the best of Old School and New School.
I want one!

The ride is stupendous! I'm not sure how it stacks up again a custom made steel hardtail, but I'm not worried about it either! I'll be riding this one until it breaks.

Thanks! The fork and wheels are a little tired. Hopefully I can make that update in the near future!

Hey, did you have any ride issues with using the thick Continental X-King 2.4 on the back of the El Mariachi? I've heard running a 2.4 on the back of that particular bike would be too tight of a fit.

No issues. They work really well.
