Last day today, just did a mixed terrain loop and picked up some stuff for dinner
Having spent some time here now, done some miles on the bike, some thoughts
1) on road it was really nice, we did a few big hills (for me) and the bike got me up, didn’t have to get off, the runs into town on roads felt swift and fun, I almost wish I did more road
2) the bike shined most when we went places, like having to ride mixed terrain to lymington or Southampton I felt like I had the ideal bike, when we just did a day ride loop which was off road, it felt lacklustre
3) made me really want a hard tail mtb, or even a rigid, my partners ogre kept up over the whole trip, there was no reason to have tyres this small, they enjoyed the off-road on it more too
4) the bike felt really good on and off road with panniers, I was super impressed, as a light tourer, much like point 2, it really really excels
In conclusion?
I want a alloy hard tail with blue sid and dropper, running 2.2 semi slicks
