…… well for a bike with a 160mm HT!

So this is my 650b+ Longitude.

First ride out over the weekend and I am pleasantly surprised. Bike seemed to offer more than enough grip over routes and sandy sections with with barely more rolling resistance than any 29er I’ve owned, if fact I would have been happy to have believed it was running 29er wheels with “regular” sized tyres.

For a bike with a 160mm HT and a non suspension corrected front end its really chuckable. No idea what its wheel base or chain stay length but if felt stable without feeling dull.

Yes, only time will tell and I’m sure its a case of emperors new clothes but I like it.

The low BB (lower than it ought to be) didn’t cause an issue but then this is only Suffolk – we barely have hills!

Need to pay a man from the classified (sorry for the delay) for his 3.0” NN as the 2.8” TB on the back looks ripe for sidewall tearing as the Hugo rim has really plumped the sidewall 😐

Saddle pack present as I’m trying to cut down on using a Camelback this summer.
