Ah nice, thank you! I don't do Insta so didn't see.
I'm feeling miffed that I'm now stuck behind the curve on V2.5. The mods to the rear triangle seem mostly aimed to fit bigger 700c tyres — looks like 650b is over. The tweaks to the geometry generally make fit more consistent through the size range, a shortcoming pointed out by (ahem) The Radavist in their very extended review (of a V2.0, I think).
It is a pity if 650b is obsolescent. The argument made by Gerard Vroomen for the 3T Exploro — must be 10 years ago now — that the diameter of a fat gravel tyre on 650b was the same as that of a road tyre on 700c, still holds good. There's no way a bike is going to perform the same on 32mm and 55mm tyres on the same wheels.
They are milking the launch but not much on the website yet, new colours on IG today and tomorrow, if you've not seen, the first one is up.
Very close to cinelli laser blue..
