Since when has this thread accepted builds that still need fettling?

Merida is quality. Euro base-block vibes.

someone who knows what they are doing rides it.

Automatic disqualification from HHSB.

Is Scotland in the EU?

Your Bianchi was pretty close tbf. :oP

Few daft bikes which straddle the increasingly blurry line (for me anyway) between HH and mamil chariot.

Merida is cool. There's not a lot of money on it but get the fundamentals right unlike most dentist chariots.

Lovely.

….but those stems look weird when not slammed.

…..but extra points for colourway being on point for the time in the season so….

Have to say these over long negative stems on slammed headsets look gopping.

Like soming broken.

IMO

Would ride yeah

Name of owner and union jack on the top tube, pffft

Not the de rigeur Slam City chic, more the bling variety.

I do not endorse this.

I almost want to accept it but Bastion are one of the worst offenders for helping mamils part with their money.

"expensiver, uglier and steerer cut"

Can not decide what I think about the current gen S6. Looks good in the champagne with gummies.

Is there a list anywhere of -10 stems?

Bastion is French for MAMIL Chariot.

For me, a mamil chariot is usually bone-stock OTP. If you’re going to the extent of speccing that Bastion like that then you have something more about you than the avg warrior.

I hate those Bastion frames. Not convinced about their HH credentials at all.

Know who’s Bora Venge that is? The position is crazy nice, in a back-breaking cafe stop posing only kind of way.

Terrible

There is a list somewhere, but top of my head you have:

• Extralite Hyperstem
  
• Pro Vibe (dunno if it's only the old 7s)
  
• Specialized SWorks
  
• Zipp Sprint
  
• Thomson
  
  

Could also be that some are 12 degree.
I have all except the Extralite, reports that they too flexy at 120mm.

Aye Extralite are 0, 6, 12 or 18 degree

I have an Extralite in 120 -12 and don’t find it to flex much at all. I have a strong sprint and find it surprising reading some peoples experiences with it
