    Any input on how a bike with slacker head angle (69 vs 71) and longer reach/taller stack and longer wheelbase will have on the ride. I know in theory from the marketing blurb it's supposed to offer better everything, but in the real world is that the case?
    Looking at the new Camino, but see last year model is on sale so wonder which of the two to go since there's a £50 difference in price
    @Belagerent I just saw that and almost got the newer one for the £50 price bump

    Slacker in theory more stable off road, extends the wheelbase and puts a touch more of your weight toward the rear which again helps steering off road. The trade off is if you want to use it as a winter road bike or do a lot of tarmac miles, it will feel like steering a boat and a lot less fun

    Thanks for the input. Most of my riding will be on the road, with the occasional foray off road on tame paths along the river, nothing too gnarly so looks like I can save the £50 towards getting a 46/30 crank and new fd
