T-Bob Posted March 27, 2017 Share If people want it, build it... and take their money then sell them accessories, show great instagram images, sell some upgrades, deal carbon then tell them the've been riding the wrong size wheels and we all need to upgrade to a bigger size because they are stopping making the current size as there is no demand and after a bit make a slightly smaller wheel size that is slightly smaller than the new size but slightly bigger than the original size because people want it and if people want it then build it... Just tweaked it a bit. Zebra 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coppi Posted March 27, 2017 Share Just tweaked it a bit. Yes, like I overheard someone telling his mates that Giant is no longer making a 29" Anthem and will be focusing on 27,5" only .............. T-Bob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicoBoshoff Posted March 27, 2017 Share Pump those brakes, Iwan. You want the gravel grinding hipsters to spill their Fair Trade, hand ground artisanal espressos into their waxed moustaches with such inflammatory statements?! I'm all for riding what makes you happy, but I won't let the industry tell me that some drop-bar frankenroadbike is superior to a vanilla XC 29er across a stretch of rough gravel.But you'll happily have them pour you that e-bike Koolaid hey Patchelicious, NotSoBigBen, Hairy and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Posted March 27, 2017 Share Mr Tomac has been rocking roadie bars on mtb's before it became cool http://cdn.mos.bikeradar.imdserve.com/images/news/2015/10/02/1443765678342-i7q2tdyggtb-630-354.jpg http://mbaction.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Tomac_2_Zap-e1458748157315.jpg T-Bob, shaper, Kalahari Vegmot and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have gone down the rabbit hole and someone came out with our face up our own ass! Again, no problem with gravel bikes and gravel riding, but if you're looking to add front and rear suspension maybe, just maybe, there is already a bike for the type of riding you do. Maybe.

Maybe. when I build mine, I looked around yes. but could only found broom stick bikes. As a roadie I always (and will always) like drop bars more than broom stick bars. Really enjoy the mtb scenery in the drops man...jip on front suspension... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket-Boy Posted March 27, 2017 Share Mr Tomac has been rocking roadie bars on mtb's before it became cool looks like he was running 1x too, judging by that TT style shifter one the one side only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
