i have a hard time with bikes like this.
So 'spensive and so planned out, yet single speeded and geared to go slow. Right when you're gonna let the bike sing, you run out of legs. why spend so much on a bike thats only good when pointed slightly up hill or in some techy spots? 60% of whats fun about single track and XC riding is when you get to rip on the fast parts.
sorry but I can't help thinking all single speed XC MTBs are completely ridiculous. Maybe an excercise in graceful building and certainly a good conversation starter for mustached chatter fucks, but as a machine to rip on, they fail. 100%.
XC bikes need a few gears to really go. Always anti for me.
