Between myself ans Ms Spanner, we’ve had two 853’s (both mine, one got stolen) and an Easton Ultralight model.
We both like them very much indeed.
As I said in the original post (up there) a month or so ago, all they really need is a quarter inch on the top tube, the ability to run 120mm forks if requred and more mud room on the 853. Rack and separate mudguard eyelets on both would be nice.
I really, really hope that they don’t ruin them by:
Sticking a huge seat tube on for dropper posts.
Optimising them for a really long fork – 120mm is plenty – never felt the need for over 100mm myself, but fashions change. 😐
They handle so nicely it would be a shame to blow it.
Making them too heavy – they really are exceptionally light frames.
Making them too bloody expensive – they’ve proved thay can make money on them at very reasonable prices. I really hope they stick to their guns and don’t start fleecing the buyers.
