But of course most people choose bikes with their heart rather than their head.
Aye, agreed. Sell on value mibbe, but I wouldn't buy a bike based on that tbh!.
Lol carbon sucks
lol indeed.
Have SC bikes got some sort of brittle bone disease ?
they seem to be snapping like twigs
I'd imagine they have a mass frame graveyard somewhere in the US
So that’s 2 frames and a rear triangle for £400 – 5 years on from my original purchase. No way you would have got that from other brands with absolutely zero hassle.
That's great, but I don't see how giving an extra £4k to SC up front (based on 2019 pricing for an equivalent build) would make any subsequent cheap crash replacement frames seem like amazing value overall. I'd almost feel obliged to deliberately damage my frame just to get my money's worth, lol.
I don't see Canyon as a "budget" brand either. To me they are a premium brand (at least at the top end of their model range) with a direct sales model that saves the customer a small fortune over retail. Same goes for YT. The only potential downside I can see is a lack of customer service, but I can easily compensate for that with £4k to throw at any issues that may arise.
Sanata Cruz are making so much margin on their frames that they can afford gestures like frame replacements which just enhance their reputation. I bet it is the same with Hunt and their wheels.
Are the SC frames made in the US or the Far East?
