I'm from USA....NC (raleigh (what a dumb name! HA, greensboro) and WA (seattle), NY (d-town)
brits go on and on and on about parts and period correctness and upgrades and matching paint and keeping it all clean in the end....plus spending massive dollars on ...let's say "pauls cantis" instead of some vintage suntour cantis that are actually better
Russsians point to a defunct or now running? Ti bike-maker...who actually has very cool Ti frames but specializes in unicycles!! Wha?
USA has designers galore, but gives most everything to china to make according to specs. USA bikers are maybe the worst...I know, I live here. Not caring when it's wet (and trails are closed), trashing the trail with energy gu packets..(really?)...wearing kneepads---full armour for an easy xc trail....man, I'm gonna have to hide a camera in our awesome trails to show awesome fat dudes in full regalia.
I forgot what this was about...I;m drunk....can't you tell???
bottom line is...Ti hardtail 29er
26b kona explosif 853 steel
schwinn crosspoint truetemper avr touring/cross frame
and that is all in the world you need unless you live in snow country
x-ray spex vs wire...no one loses
