Specialized Chisel FS

FFS another bike? I need to get an N+1 tattoo ASAP, but seriously, building bikes and new bike day makes me happy; I get to research the shit out of parts, flex my creativity, problem solve, shoot and document the build process and best of all I get to ride and tune the build to gain more experience too. Before buying the Amflow e-MTB I was looking at a Specialized Stumpjumper (I’ve looked into them ever since to be honest), but at some stage I came across the Specialized Chisel, found one on sale that was available in a light grey colour which I liked that was listed as “in stock” at a local bike shop. I called the shop to ask if I could pick it up that day but they put me on hold for ages only to tell me they’d call me back ASAP. That ASAP never came that day. I called them the next day only to have them tell me that sorry, but they couldn’t find one in stock (grrr!), so very soon after that I bought the Amflow. I’ve been on again off again about owning a short travel dual…
