Yeah, but you don't get the dropouts Speedvagen is known for, so how will anyone know that you're riding something other than any other steel hardtail out there?

Can you imagine the looks you'd have gotten if you showed up to ride with that baby chain ring.

My MTB used to be a hardtail, but I made it rigid. I like 2.1s. The Racing Ralph/Ray combo is perfect for the fire roads I like.

As for The Speedvagen MTB, nah. I don't have a hipster mustache or a Civil War beard.

i like SV stuff. I almost ordered one of their cross frames. Not sure why but I would never consider a MTB from them. There are just so many good MTB builders out their that have geo dialed and are committed to mountain bikes. This bike just doesn't do it for me. Still contemplating one of their cross frames tho
