What is this tho
-
it has weird mavic wheels
it has a very ugly head tube
it has some dodgy tektro mechanical disc brakes
it has a dropper, but the geo is more "cycling across wales" than "getting rad at afan"I don't really get it...I think you could build your own bike for better money
if the frameset alone was £300 I think it would be worth it, after a decent repaint -
no need for identity politics
this is why we have brexit

Someone tell me about this. It looks great at first glance, like a not-quite-poor-but-maybe-middle-class man's Crust, assuming that it's fairly "cheap". The geo chart is messed up but could it stand in as an easy-to-medium-trail-capable MTB with a suspension fork? What travel do we reckon? Will everyone laugh at me if I turn up at Glentress on a bike with a 72 head angle these days?
