Preference is still definitely for steel though, even if alu options might be cheaper. I won't be doing any XC racing so I'm less concerned with lightest/fastest setups. Durable, comfortable, capable.
The Cotic does look pretty sexy though: https://bikepacking.com/news/2020-cotic-solarismax/ What's with all the bottle mounts on the DT though!?
"Exclusive Cotic Designed Reynolds 853 34.9mm seat tube" Does that mean non-standard, pain in the arse to find later on, seatposts?
What about Di2? How much is it going to cost me to keep smashing Di2 RDs off?
don't go di2 no need. just go shimano deore xt 12 speed.
I love my Di2 and hate cables though. #sadface
