• Im pondering a new bike to replace my Trek Fuel Ex as is pretty porky and a Trek. I live in the
    Peak District and ride the typical type of trails you find here so I like the idea of a new full sus that climbs better than the trek but can keep up on the down hills. Im into bike-packing and longer / ultra-ish rides, so something like this https://carbonwasp.com/products/truffle-frame or this https://www.transitionbikes.com/Bikes_Spur.cfm are my main ideas at the moment but they both only have one bottle cage and two would be nice. Any suggestions for alternative 120 mm Carbon options ?

  • Transition spur

    Ah I see that's your second link. Just get it then put a bottle on the top tube. I'd pick a bike on it meeting riding needs not the bottle mounts.

  • The bottle cage thing isn't too much of a concern just a tick on my list :) there are a few frames that meet the criteria in general, Transition Spur, Santa Cruz Tallboy, Scott Spark, Cannondale Scalpel, Salsa Spearfish / Horsethief, Truffle etc so it will come down to availability, fit, and Whoever will let me try one out!

    I thought the standard answer was 'Geometron'?

    We've come full circle
