Dirt Tracker Posted August 1, 2018 Share I've never actually seen a DeVinci that I've thought looked good, particularly their carbon bikes. They always look awkward and somehow unnecessarily overbuilt. You're right. I've got that feeling with every Knolly. This is probably the closest to one that looks buyable and I'm intrigued by the different height chain stays and all that weird thickness on the down tube and shock mounting.

Same with those ugly ass Evil bikes for me, with the head tube that looks like saddlebags fat. Dirt Tracker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirt Tracker Posted August 1, 2018 Share Same with those ugly ass Evil bikes for me, with the head tube that looks like saddlebags fat. Ha, ha, ha. That will keep popping into my mind this weekend when I'm building up my Following. Edit: I've been trying to work it out. What is Saddles bag fat and what does it look like? and don't say it's like an evil head tube. I'm scared to google it.

I wonder how much that high idler causes the chain to drag... I've never ridden an idler bike, but I've heard it causes quite a bit of drag - anyone with some first hand experience?
