HaydenWilson Posted May 22, 2013 Share Definitely gets a plus one for being different. buuuuut it looks to me like they sacrificed a lot in order to be different there are better ways of solving their engineering problems rather than machining it out of one piece of billet aluminium which still flexes a lot! seems to me like they really liked machining things and building a bike came second.

It's cast. I read an article a few years ago on the AP1 on the process and the reasoning etc etc. Nice bikes in the flesh. But I agree with you on why they do it.

(Deon) Posted May 22, 2013 Share Fabian's setup http://reviews.mtbr.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Fabian-Barels-Canyon-Striv.jpg ooh, I am drawn to that fork. Anyone think 180mm will be too much fork for local riding, state your case now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
