Additional Info

Built this from the ground up with parts pulled from my Stumpjumper EVO. Love my Stevo but wanted to try something new. So far the LVN 160 is much more planted and stable on fast descents but climbs surprisingly well too. Pretty impressed so far. Though I will have to get a narrower rear tire for more clearance and have a Yoshimura ENDH stem on order to give me more rise as my steerer tube is a bit short.

good information.  I have been loving their hardtail and am I steel fan.  I may pull the trigger on one of these to add to the collection.

Do it man! I loved my Stumpjumper Evo but damn I love this thing more. I just saw that he was this frame on sale for $800 bucks on the site (though I think it has no warranty) regardless that’s a killer deal for a US made frame!

I see that Push was able to fit a shock to the bike.  Is that a 200 x 57 or 210 x 55?  I have a Push from one of my other bikes and if they can fit it, then I may look at the Ferrum as I already have a hard tail of theirs.

It’s a 200x57 size shock but I should note that it’s actually tuned for a 2017 Warden Knolly. I just added a heavier weight spring and upped the compression a bit and it’s been workin great!

Ferrum has stopped making the LVN 160 with the 200x57 shock size and has since updated it to the 210x55 shock size. They do have some frames with the old shock size available at a killer clearance price though! He’s making new links so you can convert it to the 210x55 size if you want later down the road though.

i actually just got the new link and am trying out an Intend Hover Gamechanger shock in 210x55 on it. Overall I’m super stoked on this bike still! Best bang for the buck you can get right now.
