Am looking for next bike for my 40 mile xc rides which can also entail playing at the local bombhole site, 2-3 ft drop offs etc. As I need to have a Rohloff hub (cos I'm fed up with trying to maintain my normal gears) the Lenzsport Lumberjack looks in number one place right now. Can't find much info about them or the company but have spoken with the UK importer and all seems well. Anyone out there have some first hand experience to either reassure me or put me off? Oh yeah, guess I'm confident about the Rohloff side of things, its the Lenzsport info I'm after

Never seen a lenzsports, but was thinking similarly about the jensonusa zion frames: reynolds 853 & EBB. Should build up SS or rohloff nicely.till

Till,
Thanks, but I must have missed some info off my original post. The Lenzsport lumberjack has 5 inchs of rear suspension. The real clever bit (if your looking to do Rohloff or ss) is that the pivot point of the bottom bracket and swinging arm are concentric, therefore no chain growth during travel and no need for chain tensioner. Only other bikes I've with concentric pivots are a pair of Cove's. Problem with the Cove's is they dont have adjustable drop outs so you end up needing the chain tensioner again. Actually I think X-lite may have done a downhill bike years ago with concentric pivot but thats not relevant here
