Ok, by stolen, I mean he owns one, which means I cant buy one! Not his rules, mine! Cant have his and hers bikes. Its bad enough with Rab jackets and North Face shoes (though I owned them first!) 😛
I currently ride a Nicolai Helius CC with 140 mm up front. Looking for something of similar capabilities i.e. a good descender and capable of going up hill with little/no bob; but with a slacker head angle and in 27.5″.
I also find the Nicolai quite heavy at times (going to claim a pathetic girl moment). It is quoted at 2.7 kg without shock from their old geometry sheet and I have a mid range build on it with XT, Hope hubs etc. I am a little surprised to find the new generation of bikes have frame weights of ~3.3 kg (including the new Nicolais) and I was hoping my next bike would be lighter. Sadly the only Aluminium bike I can find under 3 kg is the 301; and as per my own rules I cant have one! Lol! 😛
I crash too much for carbon!
Liking the look of the new Transition Scout, but that goes into the heavier box.
Any ideas….? (Btw this is a long term project so it can be something new)
