It only comes in two sizes, so there are fewer choices to make there:

Pricing starts at $1,690. For all the other info, you’ll have to figure out how have a look at the website. Or, like guess the weight of the cake – guess the head angle?

I came to Singletrack having decided there must be more to life than meetings. I like all bikes, but especially unusual ones. More than bikes, I like what bikes do. I think that they link people and places; that cycling creates a connection between us and our environment; bikes create communities; deliver freedom; bring joy; and improve fitness. They're environmentally friendly and create friendly environments. I try to write about all these things in the hope that others might discover the joy of bikes too.
