We’ve been able to make 8-9 new bike trails that are all gravity fed and it has a lot of draw from all over the area,” explains Peterson. We saw the future of it, saw the terrain, and the terrain on the summer side, lends nicely to a long gravity bike trail. It’s gone through a lot of transitions and different parties. “Pinehurst has a past history back from the 30′s of being a ski hill. the green light to transform Pinehurst into a year-round recreational park. The vision for the Pinehurst Bike and Snow Park began nearly a decade ago when the city of Eau Claire gave Christian Peterson and OutdoorMore, Inc. It might be the best kept secret in the Chippewa Valley. Just to see what it is, they might have heard whispers of it around town, then they come out here and they are like ‘wow, I can’t believe I’ve been missing out on this place,” says Andy Wians, Pinehurst Project Board of Directors Secretary. “I think people are just surprised when they come out here for the first time. A location that is unknown to many but provides a year-round spot for recreational activities. (WEAU) - Pinehurst Park is a local bike park and snow park destination for Chippewa Valley residents of all ages. The three frame sizes have angles similar to what you find on other bikes in Trek’s full-suspension family, with a slightly steeper seat angle and top tube lengths that are on the longish side.EAU CLAIRE, Wis. Trek says the massive size of the wheel/tire combo limits how small they can build the frame and still get the suspension to attain full travel. That means smaller riders won't find a frame that fits. The Full Stache is available in sizes medium through extra-large. You’ll lose room for the inside the main frame water bottle on the down tube when you use them, but the bags more than make up for that in utility and carrying capacity. Trek partnered with Bedrock Bags, based in Durango, to create a set of bike-packing bags to fit the Full Stache. On this model, Trek engineers moved the main pivot in front of the seat tube, freeing up space for the massive 3.0 tires and allowing a short 427mm (in the high position of the mino link) or 430mm (low position) chainstay length. The frame also incorporates Trek's Mino Link chips in the EVO rocker arm, which allows riders to make a small adjustment in bottom-bracket height and seat-tube angle. Also present is the straight downtube, which helps keep frame stiffness high, and KnockBlock headset that limits the forks turning radius and keeps the fork crown from smashing into the frame. The Full Stache takes advantage of the suite of features found in both those models, retaining the ABP pivot, Trek’s concentric rear axle pivot, and EVO rocker-driven Fox Float RE:aktiv shock. That scores you the frame with a Fox Float RE:aktiv shock and Knock Block headset.Īt first glance you might be tempted to mistake the Full Stache for a Fuel EX trail bike or Slash enduro rig on a heap of steroids. Trek also offers a frame only option for $1,999. Built around an alloy frame with 130mm of rear wheel travel, the bike has an elevated right-side chainstay similar to the hardtail Stache, a design detail that let Trek keep the stays relatively short, and bears more than a passing resemblance to the Slash and other bikes in Trek's full-suspension families.Ĭurrently there is only one Full Stache model, which is equipped with a SRAM GX Eagle 12-speed drivetrain, RockShox Pike RL 130mm fork and Guide R brakes for $3,700. Trek’s Full Stache 8 is the Wisconsin company’s latest entry to the genre.
