Nice thing about the Snabb is that it is new ... so if something goes wrong you have not lost the money you put into buying the frame.

 

Should you insure the frames though, the my above comment is moot.

This is very true. This purchase is the result of an insurance claim for a theft. My bike was taken off insurance by my wife as I was going to get a seperate policy. It was stolen from my car in between & I was left with nothing on that. Luckily the extras & upgrades didn't come off the household insurance along with the bike so I could claim on the fork, wheels, dropper post and that would cover this new frame. Luckily i had bought a new ribbon last month that I'd ordered but not put on. A lot of silver linings that have eased what could have been very empty garage.

only 2 ways to look at it. The first one is a should-have-could-have-would-have and that will eat you up. The other is that I still have a great set of frames to choose from and a new bike is always a joy.

Power of positive thought mate ????????

2016 Enduro. That bike is basically a long legged trail bike. Pedals well, and more than enough for local trails.

 

Also worth considering, most carbon enduro bikes weigh in at 14-15kg alone, so a long travel steel bike would be out of the question for me.
