I thought Iasac had folded? After their frames ..well..folded?
Really like that BLTc
I saw the “Chameleon” heading and got my hopes up that Santa Cruz might have added dropper post cable routing, a bigger head tube and even done something about the annoyingly creaky and weighty EBB, but all they’ve done is move the bottle bosses and given it some Bold New Graphics. I’m disappointed now. 🙁
Isn’t the rear tyre on that Blur LTc the wrong way round? Ho hum.
“it’s more of a complete redesign. One point in case is the addition of dropper post guides”
Eh?
“threaded grease nipples are now recessed out of the way to reduce the likelihood of them getting struck by rocks”
So ‘grinding your nipples off’ was a problem then?
God, that red Blur LTc is lush!!! On my list now after what I’ve heard of Santa!
Is it sad that the second I saw the picture of the blur I saw the tyre was on backwards haha.
Surely with the tyre mounted that way, pedalling traction is increased to a slight decrease in brake grip?
And the yellow maxxis’ line up….
not sure if they dropped the seattube bottle bosses on the cham on the L and XL frame..
seems the shown frame is size m, which was always without..
.. “shady orange” is nice at least..
Not to be confused with Newcastle LBS “The Bike Place”
