Toasted marshmallows

Just looked intriguing those first few images on this bike. Nude frame with carbon fork. Thought hmmmm could be a cool n+1 got a sick cross bike and mtb amd ebike. Wanted to have a steel allroad do it all bike. Got a few 27.5 wheels and 29er wheels so thought could be a cool project. Currently abit hesitant....q

This bike is very appealing lately... ticking the right boxes. Only curious has anyone built a racier spec of these???? Carbon fork? Sram etap? And light wheels?

Maybe try put some faster rolling tyres on... the tyres are over tyred for the region. But a 140mm travel ht with some reckon race or icons? Will make that bike rallye around those trails

My feeling exactly....

Cape epic lost all appeal... as a company they have no back bone stating lifetime ban on convicted dopers..... yet allowing them to race.... why have set rules when not following through with them? Or is it just an eye blinder????

😀 valid post and no organisers kept to there words...

As mentioned in original post... seems organisers have no backbone to these stances

Contamination in products are very rare but plausible. Anyone see recalls on products for glass in a batch(kit kat at the moment) or past the best before date ingredients put in??? Small chance of it happening but does happen Graves is a beast of a guy. P.s anyone see the great performance of Kevin Evans in p.e 2 plett.... well done to the organisers for upholding there own rules....

So j2c and pe2plett and K Evans did both.... David George does wines2whales....Epic also allowing convicted dopers to ride? Whats the point of having these rules when the organisers and race refs allow these okes to ride... many others slip through with little notice.... Sadly the sport is a mess from the federation to organisers. To the "professionals" to the schools league where kids get sold a dream of being the next Hatherley or stander if they do well in it... with no infrastructure to organically take these juniors to elite no varsity leagues just a champs and no club level racing or intermediate level for the step up to the u.s.a or Europe... So kids and parents start trolling sites looking for a wonder drug they can get a prescription for or OTC... micardis comes to mind (same mechanism of action as a aicar and a gw50156 and totally legal, or the famous disprin during a tt to take the edge off more placebo but works. What about taking some muscle relaxants and ibuprofen during a race thats legal and common practice amongst pros. I knew a guy who had 2 via viagras a day while racing elites....) Doping is not clear cut. You have a system and the sad part is it filled with loopholes cracks and miss information... you have a congestion take some decongestant thats green on the list makes you feel great so that athlete Continues to use it as he can now breathe easier... ends up moving to the next step how to push his limits more pain blockers.... next phase of his evolution strength or blood boosting or weight cutting (just hypothetical)
