Genuine question, esp to those who have had custom steel, nice Ti and other boutique bikes.
The Bokeh looks like a reasonably standard geometry aluminium frame, with nice forks and big clearances.
Why is it so good?
Is everybody running them with large tyres, so nuances of the frame are lost slightly due to the cushion of the tyres?
It’s a fair point. I got the Tripster as it covered more-than-good-enough road bike, touring bike and cross races in one package. And just because it was Ti. I suspect it would be equally good in Alu for my ability, or something very similar in carbon .. the material is not massively important – and bike for life is balls as I’m already considering a cheap dedicated 1x cross bike for next season, and I’m more likely to get bored or hit a tree than wear it out somehow.
EDIT: But – I smile every time I look at it and ride it.
