I have ridden my hard tail with a rigid fork on these rides which performed well. Fast rolling 29x2.2” tires seem to be the ticket for me, mounted on a light, lively frame. I am now exploring using the wheelset on a drop bar bike, like a Cutthroat. But cannot get over the touring geometry. I’ll most likely have to go custom as well, but enjoying the rigid MTB for the moment. |

Don't place your deposit till you have cash in hand for the road bike. Resale value may not be what you expect.

Thank you for the sage advice. If I don’t sell my road bike then I will still have the best riding road bike I have ever ridden. Pretty good apples any way you look at it.

Fwiw, I would not sell the Festka. If your road bike were a production bike or a more common boutique brand, I would say go ahead and sell the road bike since you could get back into it later without much trouble or expense if you end up regretting the sale. |

You a crazy man! What you should really do is keep the Festka and instead sell the mosaic and get a 650b gravel bike replacement and the mtb. Something like the Soulcraft option might fit into that budget option along with the 44 or whatever steel mtb you want.

Well, I wrote a check today to Kris Henry at 44 Bikes for a place in the queue. Hopefully, I will have a new hardtail mountain bike before our annual summer vacation to Tahoe. BTW, I did not sell the Festka.
Now I got to figure out the color of the MTB..... decisions, decisions.
