Chromag clocker review1/25/2024 The wheelbase is long and my weight balance is dialed to make the best use of all the suspension I was born with. My Walt V2 is intended to be my ultimate North Shore rigid trail bike and it is just that. I'll dig deeper into the evolution of this bike then you'd ever want to go, however, for now I'll say that it was born out of scaring myself on my favourite local trails on the rigid plus bikes I owned before it. Well, I mean, maybe a couple of tiny things. I have to say that it's beyond cool to get something custom made that you wouldn't change a thing about. When I'm looking at bikes these days it's decade-old used bikes for fun rebuild projects or best-on-a-budget options, like the Growler 20, to write about for NSMB. This purple-powdered collection of steel tubes has completely cured me of newbicycleitis. My Waltworks V2 is longer, slacker, and meaner than the first one and, without any caveats, it's the most wicked bike I've ever owned. Fourth, Walt is one of my favourite people I've never met and this is the fourth project he's done for me. Second, the bike's geometry is fully custom for me and, at a minimum, fairly unique so add a big dose of confirmation bias on top of the hit to my bank account. I could probably spend half an article testifying to the litany of biases I have when it comes to this sexy assembly of Cosmic-Lilac powder-coated steel but I'll leave it off with a few of the biggies.
