Nicolai is V. Nice indeed. If you’re concerned about the (And you shouldn’t be, twentynineinches number one pick from Eurobike 2011) head angle, just spec it with a 1.5″ head tube and run an angleset.
None will be crap, choose the one that will make you ‘feel’ like you want to ride it, which is a combo of looks, how you feel about the brand etc..
Most of us know that Ford Mondeo’s et al are as good as BM/Audi and M3 is as quick as Ferrari etc…you get the picture, we mostly make choices based upon how a brand makes us feel and how we wish others to perceive us if we’re honest.
Had a quick blast on a Sultan the other day, that was nice..
