Not that stuck record again. Vipa= nice, but too expensive, not proven itself yet, hearing lots of stories about broken frames lately.. Anthem is good, but again, nothing to drool over in the looks department. Pyga, heavy, expensive and no carbon options. I also consider niche brands everytime I buy, Rocky Mountain, Bmc etc etc, but ultimately the lack of bikes to Demo, dealers refusing to negotiate on discount and fear of aftersales keeps me going back to the big S. Also cause Spez make shoes, helmets, clothing, gloves etc etc, I always negotiate a sweet pair of shoes or a helmet with my new bike. Getting a Stumpy expert later this week, 25 percent off retail, and new pair of s works shoes.
