Could be drop bar and short suspension territory

Kyrgyzstan looks amazing.

This?

@frankenbike I'm down for a loop on the moon.

Nope, but you’re not suppose to know about that yet!

I can’t, it’s something I cannot show, all I can says is that their new gravel bike is on point.

Imagine the sweet air. And no aerodynamics, you would be so fast.

A bike that you would describe as on point. 🤔

My guess is super wide bars, fat tyre 650b, sub-compact ratios. How many points did I get?

Fork for sale here with mounts. https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/324552/#comment14376210

Good thing Ed is keeping it a secret from us.

Look like they're breaking the embargo rules.

It even got threaded bottom bracket too.

Readers: I guess this is now a gravel bike as it dealt with some sweet Welsh service roads just fine today, that is apart from the short sections where they'd laid fresh aggregate and it hadn't been compacted. The rider however....

stop press, brilliant!

Few years too late for me but good news.

So they made an Arkose?

Is that a bottle mount on the top tube?

I was about to say the same, could be worse than arkose because of dale margins .. no di2 compatibility either, such a good opportunity of coming up with a high end alu frame missed.

Mmmm. The fork doesn't appear to have any extra mounts either beyond the hidden mudguard mount.

Bit me too.

This could be kinda fun if it wasn't so bloody ugly

For an e-bike, it's not that bad.

RIP, Cannondale

So they made an Arkose?

Pretty much but with thru axle on both, geometry mix of Synapse and CAADX, all the mount you can dream of.

Fork is full carbon too, they're aiming for the bikepacking/endurance crews.

Oh and they're bringing back the Slate for 2019, only two model, both SRAM (1x10 and 1x11), the cheaper one a lovely slate and the expensive one is a vivid red/orange.

There's something about that seat post and the bar set up that angers me.

Pretty much

Oh well. Least it's pretty much instantly forum approved.
