so called into Keep Pedalling on Manchester, great shop and patient,honest people, to look at the stooge. So this is all based on a shop look and sit on as it was torrential rain putside.
Colours both are stunning in the real world. Hard choice………..
Sizing at just 6ft and shrinking it seemed right, but had layback post and salsa 17 bend handlebars so hard to tell. Lots of spacers under stem so felt very ‘high’. I have had large Santa Cruz and would agree feels like that size.
Design is just loverly, really retro and unusual.
Weight felt okay in single speed with no fancy parts just solid stuff XT that I would use.
Tyres plenty of space for Conti 2.4’s.
I confess to being smitten and off back on a dry day for a ride. 😀
