Hardegat

I think it looks great but I'm not sure that the pivot points below the BB will like all the mud etc. that will collect there. I also hope they've sorted the internal cable routing as the guys have been really struggling with this on the hardtails. Still, a nice looking bike which will probaby ride as good as it looks. Used to have a Niner Hardtail (not Carbon) and it was a great ride!

So what would a good first post be? What is open ended about it? I don't know the guy from a bar of soap - nothing personal. Just an observation.

You're right, I probably should not generalise as most cyclists I've met are nice guys & gals - even the top ones. I don't know the guy - he might be a nice guy but I still think it was in bad taste.

I was watching Supercycling's coverage of the Knysna Seriously Strong 200 race (looks like big fun!). I could not believe the shocking behaviour in front of the camera by one of the leading guys - those who watched it will know what I'm talking about. I understand we all get caught up in the emotion of the race but there are limits. The guy had some bad luck / bad tyre choice and had to finish on his rim. At the finish he made a big scene (like a kid who dropped his ice-cream), punching the ground??!?
