Here's a pic of the DB Sortie 3 I just built up. I'm gonna use this bike and a 6" travel Mission for Super D racing this season on the Mountain States Cup circuit and some local races. I wanted this bike to be fast and nimble, but solid and confidence inspiring - so I went with a 100mm travel Manitou Minute MRD with 20mm axle. For the time being I'm also running chunky but solid DT Swiss E2200 wheels with some meaty Nokian tires. I opted for a 1x9 drivetrain using Shimano road cranks with 34t gearing and a short cage XT rear derailleur. I like the way it looks (team america!), now I'm gonna go ride it! :thumbsup:



Thanks to Rob and Trevor and all the Diamondback folks!
