Yeah, Victor took it Farr away! 😂😂😂
It’s really just the fork that’s a killer, otherwise it’s fair, for say a Small size. Sure you can spec different tubing and come out with a different ride if you go fully custom. Do you recall Columbus once did the ML? It was basically every tube was shaped very differently and its inner profiles at the ends were varied. That I remember felt amazing from having both SL and SLX back then. Boa chi made them… has to be the best bike I’ve flown with on downhill’s, it was so solid. I’m a steel fan and if you go the other side of the spectrum with a full Cannondale which of course also was a different feel to say a top notch Allan or Vitus from back on the day. So when you mention Dave’s custom rides of course he will be using something in the upper range but I wouldn’t write off all tubing, some brands like Reynolds and Tange were looked down upon but they too had good stuff, and to further drive the point, remember True Temper? All these tubing built amazing bikes that completed at the highest level. So all steel is real in my eyes 😂🤪 if it’s going to get recycled and used again, dude it’s real from that point!
I’m impressed that you do enduro with a steel bike?👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 That’s has to withstand alot of flex and abuse, but yeah there is a light weight weenie steel bike somewhere on the inter webs that’s pretty insane, I think If it was a sub 7! And that’s not water pipe stuff…🤭
Let’s agree we all like steel… let’s not discriminate, let’s embrace all tubing, not matter the size, colour or ethic sourcing. Let’s build a cycling culture of Steel Ubuntu! 😂😂😂
