I rather like it, there's some nice engineering going on there - by the looks of it anyway. It seems as if the "short" would have enough TT length for me too (615mm/22.4") so I'm actually considering it, that's if a summer riding with gears in Greece persuades me to build another geared bike.
Just been checking out the full build spec and it seems decent value to me. Am I missing something?

Fast is about the engine not the gears. There's a few guys on here who do 1x at each end, ie singlespeed.
They're fast. Fast enough to win 24 hour races.

On anything bar flat fire roads I'm as fast 1x as I was 2x. Then it's only a very small difference.
In anything technical or singletrack I'm probably faster through working on technique and realising that a heap of the time I was pedaling to make myself feel like I was going faster, the amount it was increasing my speed was minimal.
Mind **** isn't it 🙂 Kind of where strava is actually a lot of use

Testify brother! THat's why all those downhill bikes have double rings
....on fire roads...whilst aero tucking
Stealth save there 607blahblah
Rumour has it Guy Kesteven has ridden this bike in prototype form and was extremely impressed
Especially when 1250 pounds buys you a good review in a mag these days.
Geometry isn't as slack, low or long as it could be
Looks a bit long/low/slack for trail centre fun
You guys should meet up

That would be nice but seeing as DT only rides road bikes nowadays and I only ride mountain bikes and we're at opposite ends of England I can't see it happening! 😉
