Is thru axle better? I've never ridden it so have no idea. TA+Flat mount+brexit tax does seem to have added about 2-300 pounds to the price of steel frames over the past few years, which I can see irritating a lot of people, I guess especially road cyclists who seem set to gain the least from it.
Probably needed to happen the way the industry is going though.
I remember when I bought a new Surly frame years ago and it didn't make me slump into a 6-month long fugue of financial weltschmerz. Those were the days!
