Catatonic_Joe Posted October 21, 2015 Share I think the bike is flikkin gorgeous, the colour stunning, probably the the nicest looking bike after the Yeti SB5c (my opinion). I fail to see the justification of spending 55k on a steel hardtail. What am I missing...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chro Mo Posted October 21, 2015 Share 12k for the frame is dead reasonable. Buy the frame and source the rest. johannrissik 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fail to see the justification of spending 55k on a steel hardtail. What am I missing...?Spec, pure and simple. Things might not seem like it when you start, but dayum, do they start adding up quickly! In this case, it's the carbon rims. Rest of the spec is reasonable (except the Guide R's, I'd at least have specced the RS) Catatonic_Joe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
