Post All (of the) Citys!!

I'm just moaning cos I ride a pink bike ;)

I haven't decided on a price yet, I'll do a full post in here when I do with full details

Was better with steel forks regardless of paint. The internet bike community is so fickle - everyone loved the fact that it came with a steel fork before and now everyone's like 'ah this is the best thing ever. All City themselves are like 'ah man we are so stoked that we can save 1.45 lbs and offer this to you by collabing with our bros at Whisky on a carbon fork'. It's like, na, the big wigs at QBP wanted to shift more Whisky and get the name out there to more people so probably decided to shove a fork on the All City.

Mr pink has gone from a ten to a seven.

Isn't that the case with All City as a whole though?
I mean, for every new product launch it seems like the becoming more and more bland - like they wanted to sell more bikes instead of making something their own.
And I wouldn't say it's a QBP thing - Surly certainly seems to still make whatever they please.

tbf no1 makes a decent mid drop full carbon fork .. hiver looks shit and has alloy crown.

Business in wanting to sell more products shocker.

I would say that AC is slowly coming closer to just surlys with more elaborate paint.

And I wouldn't say it's a QBP thing - Surly certainly seems to still make whatever they please.

Well, Surly not exactly the most innovated company out there, their frames were great 10 years ago, have barely seen little updates.

Fine line to walk isn't?
I mean, I get it - they have to move product to stay in business, but my argument is, that All City is moving away from what drew customers to them in the first place.
Surly seems to be quite able to move forward (edit: adapt) within their segment while All City is making moves between them.
In my opinion, they should've pushed on developing a competitive steel fork instead of going carbon.

Whiskey is bringing the fork to market as a stand alone.

You mean they moving away from what drew you to them in the first place?

I don't know, I like the line up nowadays than in the past, especially the Pony Express, the Space Horse Disc (the 650b model actually extremely well proportional in the smaller sizes compare to Surly), the Natural Boy Disc with tapered headtube.

They are still selling most of the original frameset on top of this.

I have to say that my big block was one of my most favourite bikes.

Would love a nature boy disc

lfgss members in upset about very niche things shocker

Ftfy ;)

Perhaps. I'm probably never buying a road bike anyways, and I just remembered the Log Lady and the JYD, which I think are really cool.

2018 better bring a MR Pink that can take disks and bigger tyres 700x40 or 650xwhateveritis

or revert back to steel forks

Not having it. £999. Way over priced

Wow, was expecting something like £750, but not nearly a grand! shame as i would love to have that frameset.

Thank Brexit.

It's call the Macho Man Disc.

Spacehorse Disc

Spacehorse disc is lovely and would rather have that than the new Mr pink!

Needs fatter tyres.

Pink Mr Pink over Blue pink

I'm looking to buy an All City Macho king frameset, but everywhere I can find is sold out, can someone point me in the right direction for one?

Tried charly the bike monger . Is it the green one your after ?
