Q:"Strange for a low cost training / winter / commuter / do it all frameset to lose the option of nearly-free vees or cantis. Please say there will be a non-disc version." (not a question)
A: "No plans right now, and as we have been very focussed on making a fantastic frameset for a complete bike, we've perhaps not considered as we should have the needs of the winter training bike purchaser. That said, we do like to stay ahead and offer contemporary bikes with great features, and with many, many other frames that take canti's/v's out there, can we really make a difference?"
Q:"hm, significantly different back end" (also not a question)
A:"Yes. We slimmed the back end, lost the swapouts, removed the wishbone, took off the canti bosses. We also added an externally butted top tube and cleaned up the front end. Revised the steering and seat angle geoemtry."
