Yup, this be true, but you can do all sorts for nothing extra like play with the Geo. etc.
If only! Customising the geometry now costs a whopping £600!
You get a huge range of colours to choose from of course; always the hardest thing to decide.
A mate of mine tested an AC recently (HeiHei) and made comments very similar to those of ‘Ridethelakes’. I have an AM and for me the stand out feature of the bike is something I call ‘integrity’, by which I mean the frame has a sense of strength, stiffness and accuracy that comes from a frame that has been welded together with a very high degree of accuracy and is perfectly aligned.
It’s a really hard thing to convey in words but for example on extremely rough ground, the frame remains completely composed and goes precisely where you want it to.
The only other bike I’ve ever ridden that gave that same feeling was the original Pace RC100.
