Looks very much to me like the yellow Zona Grovel with a paint job and different fork.

Norco has recently come out with its XR (26/650b/700c options).

New 2018 Bombtrack Hook EXT is looking pretty good, ticks all the current popular boxes such as large tire 650B option and cage mounts on the fork only thing that turns me off is the cable routing.

My cables?!

have we reached peak bottle cage mount?

I think the mount on top tube is made for some special top tube bags, not for bottle cage. The same mount you can find on Open UP

Also, 2018 Bombtrack Audax

almost looks like @umop3pisdn genesis

Is it your bike?

Depends which one you were talking about

The one with the cockpit cable mess

Nope, still lost. Josh's is the niner

Thanks for mediating

Mine is niner and my cables are tidy. Non visable from riding position.

.

hmmph these are still 700c

Can be fitted with 650b wheel with 2.1 tyres even, so a 60mm Big-One would be awesome.

Plus Pinnacle did release the Pyrolite as their new 650b bike;

Ed is there no arkose frameset this year?

Isn't the pyrolite just an arkose with a different fork? Been eyeing the Arkose 'adventure' edition frame for 650b use.

Far from it, geometry is different and designed to work with the 650b wheel more than the Arkose.

F that fork

The fork looks like it’s made out of badly welded scaffold pole

Kinda like a Pro vibe handlebar.

only £4000

this is interesting and a welcomed change. Even canyon is now doing their ROADbikes in 650b in smaller sizes. Not their cx line though :-/

Their new Inflight CF line are all 650b in smaller sizes iirc

hmm, managed to miss this. good!

just went through the aluminum range
