looks a bit close to the guards?
Design fault, they could have moved the bottle mount a little nearer to the BB, otherwise standard length bottle hit the guard.
Not too much of a problem, as I'll be going to the British Columbia with it without mudguard.
I imagine it'll feel well balanced loaded in crappy terrain.
Moreso climbing, the Pinnacle Arkose was a little bit twitchy in a steep gravel climb with 30/34.

That looks proportionally fantastic even with the 120 stem. With 70.5 and loaded, I imagine it'll feel well balanced loaded in crappy terrain. What's with the downtube bottle cage, looks a bit close to the guards?
Was thinking of one of these, but going to try out the Ribble Adventure 725 this week (they have a showroom in Bluewater) as it'll replace a similar bike but with more modern geo.
