Tell me about them.

I really fancy getting one, any opinions on the '10 model?

Wiggle are doing charge duster ss for £450. Better value than the iO at the mo.
Oh and I have 2 ios and love em!

Thanks for that.

The Duster has very different geometry to the IO though, so choose carefully!

For me, it would be the IO over the Duster (even though I'd like an EBB) as the top tube length seems similar to my Inbred, which I really rate.

The iO is an exceptional bike for the money.

Rides like a much more expensive bike. There's 2 in our family and if I was on a budget it's what I would get for myself.

Looks near identical to me:

HA – i0 = 70.5, Duster = 71
SA – i0 = 73.5, Duster = 73.5
Chain Stays – both 420mm
Top tube – i0 Horizontal = 585, Duster (along tube) = 555 , is this a huge difference

Yes!
30mm is a big difference anyway, but if it's 555mm along the top tube then the horizontal length will be even less!

(the IO length of 585mm is horizontal)

The horizontal measurement would be longer, surely…

oops 😳

😆

My maths makes the Duster horz TT around 580mm, so not so different after all 😳

Top notch saturday night maths there 05 😆

There's another one in the frame, how's about getting an inbred slotty and building it up with bits, only need:

Headset, SS cog, 32t chain ring, chain and seat clamp and I'm there

I like my inbred so much the five barely gets a look in.

It's not a slot drop (vertical dropouts with a Forward Components EBB) but a friend has one and he's a big fan.

I love mine so much I've set up all my other bikes to match her; short 80mm stem and wide bar. Cracking bike, although the original wheels are rubbish!
