On bias (NBD)
Rather than a droning novella, just a quick observation on expectation and experience.
Before being presented with an unrefusable offer on this new bike, I held some fairly real biases (even though I knew they were irrational). A couple of rides have killed all of these prejudices. Things I knew I didn't like: - SRAM - Green - Electronic shifting - 1X - Dropped seatstays - Aggressive bike appearances I'm sure there are others. Anyway, I love this bike. It's comfortable and beautiful and fast. I really like the mullet. The 52t saved my butt this weekend. I was able to climb a section I have always needed to partially walk. Electronic shifting is so very nice. The green looks good. This bike is very hard to photograph in any way that I like. It looks much better in person to me. Well, you got a droning novella after all. Sorry. As a fat old beginner, my poseur meter is off the charts at the moment. I'll try to earn this bike in sweat. Edited to add: I wear my stack of spacers and flat pedals with pride. ![]() Here are some photos. I should have just led with these. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Last edited by feynman; 04-30-2024 at 08:32 PM. |
