Wily Cycles

I thought that was a small builder who ceased making titanium bikes in the US and the people who have the Merlin name or something like that bought the name later - please don't shoot if I got it wrong not knowing Dean was part of that. If what you have is a titanium frame "so much more flexy in the best way possible" is a description that would make sense. My titanium alloy Moots (Routt 45) is at once crazy stiff in rear and bottom yet comfy like an old noodle bike.

If your bike is 10 or more years old the 29r geometry could be much different. Early to mid last decade a few 29r such as Nimble 9 and Honzo started a revolution of more slack and low bikes with shorter back ends that many copied. A move from what road and XC racers did for just about forever to more fun and comfy bikes. Kind of a ride in it instead of on it geometry. What was really popular MTB geometry has been in some great gravel type bikes.

I hope you get a lot of pleasure with your purchase!
