The horizontal top bar

I was checking out the Charge/Wiggle/Evans websites... and I was surprised to see that the Charge Plug now has a sloping top bar. I wrote to Charge asking if they would be releasing a 'classic' horizontal top bar version any time soon?

They said "the move to a more cyclocross-like frame has been very popular. We don’t anticipate changing anytime soon"

I know this isn't 'new' news or anything... but I wanted to ask,
What do you think?

Did you only just discovered this?

Doubtful they'll released their old model anymore.

How is a sloping top tube "cyclocross"?

Does it come with "frites et mayo"?

Probably in reference to the Plug higher up that have disc and variable gears.

Glad to see they've stopped supplying brakes with the Plug. About time, frankly.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
