I think Nino's Swiss neutrality has come to an end because he's riding a tank into battle

My point was that you can add about 500g - 1000g of salt to the Spark's stated weight on the website.

Yes I understood that to be the case. It justs that that salt is a lot of weight for the stated purpose. Everyone seems to understate the weight or their 29er bikes.

I've never seen a sub  10kg 29er with pedals, bottle cages that didn't have super light aftermarket race day only parts fitted

They'll be able to advertise it as the most anticipated bike ever!!!  ????

[Rob K]

Am I reading the website correctly?

 

It seems the WC EVO has the XX1 over X01 and titanium seat rails and possibly a different front rotor?

This probably deserves its own new thread, but Cannondale has also internalized their feelings shock on their new Jekyll.
Well, sort of. It's inside the 'Gravity Cavity' (Groan & Facepalm)

I like. The shock being hidden is more due to necessity as a result of the suspension design than any other reason.

If only I was in the market...:/

If I had such a short stroke I'd also want to avoid drawing too much attention to it.

So has anyone bought a new one, review?

[babse]

Have a few mates who pre-ordered. 

Don't think they have word on exact date of shipment.

Pyga were world leaders before Covid - now everyone is copying them with the   “Here’s our new bike you can’t get” approach
