    1. Inspector Jones has a reason to be on the case today.
      But seriously, I'm a big fan of the San Quentin from afar. It's still a bit beyond my budget because I don't have a budget, but it's rad.

    2. I bought the sq3, and I love it. Upgraded the fork to a bomber z1.
      And 220 mm rear rotor on the back. Ride everything in the park. It's so quiet, chainless. Dominates in the teck.
