Got out to Granite Basin with the Lunchbox today. This thing simply rocks. After 3 weeks off it, and multiple rides on the Ventana El Capitan, I have to say it outclasses the Ventana in pretty much every way.
It climbs technical stuff better, carves at high speed better, picks through tough stuff better, and is simply a funner bike to ride. At the same time very confidence inspiring, and I don't really see any downside to the super slack head angle, even climbing steep stuff and switchbacks.
If I can get my hands on a Milk Money frame, the Ventana will be out the door for sure. I really can't imagine a ride where I would prefer it to the Lenz.
I spent a little more time on the F 135 today. I let the air preload way down, and added spring preload. The theory being to get correct sag with the least amount of compression damping. Even with a significant amount of spring preload, I still needed to add air to get correct spring rate, so this is still a work in progress.
Random thoughts.
