Alright so next up is Samuel Croteau checking in for a quick bike check. Sam's been riding this setup for about 4 months now and even toured the U.S.A with it! A full trip resume will be coming soon. Now that he's back in Montreal we're gonna start getting clips for the second 'Spit' episode. But for now here's his 2011 NS Capital26.

 Suburban frame 26" or 24" ? Just curious knowing that Stephane rode a 24"sub with 26" wheels once. I am also refering to the video, hahaha.

 How tall is he? And how did he like the geo of the bike before switching to the capital? Im thinking of doing the same thing with my sub 24

 he's around 5'11'' and he really liked the compact geo the 24 inch frame had with 26's. Length wise the Capital26 is the same, but the geometry is more agressive; higher bb, shorter chainstays and steeper head angle.

 The bike has a fork on it, not forks. it would look much nicer without that fork, might be a reasonable thing to say. you sound stupid when you say forks when referring to one singular fork

 i agree man haha, looks a bit bulky for such a tight looking bike, something like a platform snafu would probably look good

 i just meant the design on it, the bulk is okay. doesnt look bad just the design looks odd.
