Spesh Epic – Just felt like a big, fat, heavy hardtail.
Yep. Sluggish and awkward, I found it. I hated the way the back end suddenly gives, I know it’s designed to do that, but it just felt wrong. And they are a real PITA to set up propply.
My Spesh P3, I din’t get on with. Just not my sort of thing.
Santa Cruz Chameleon; dead, heavy frame, just felt like a cheapo heavy bike. No give whatsoever. I woon’t want to ride that to the pub, let alone for any real distance, and certainly not off road.
Basically, anything heavy. I want to ride a bike somewhere, pootle about, look at the view. I don’t want something that I have to schlep about with, and slog away trying to get the thing moving.
