i had the honour to bomb around the sleepy harringay streets on this and can concur it indeed is a delightful ride.
it tracks precisely and responds swiftly without suffering from the so-called surly deadness. it accelerates with the power of thought. i’ve never ridden a roberts rough stuff or dogs bollocks, but somehow i likened the feel to how i think these would ride.
i know these aren’t necessarily the most important things for hayley but it’s crucial to back the framebuilder here for what the photographs fail to convey. allow me join the viva hulsroy choir.
it’s obviously very beautiful in its petite, short-reached guise. as a (neo)retrogrouch i’m against thru axles for functional benefits, but here they look sleek especially with the rear dropout module.
in this particular set of bags the design team outdid themselves in the layering concept. the subtle yellow glow is a killer detail. i’d recommend the mamils reading this who still buy apidura from evans out of laziness to consider this ultralight performance product.
the accelerationist sticker bombing and eccentric component choice is what the contemporary aesthetic discourse needs. however, this isn’t just that but also a highly inviting ride through persistent and sometimes consuming part acquisition process. i’m proud of her withstanding the horrors and building a true performance clunker.
