(27.2mm seatposts and tubes have a reputation for flexing too much and cracking)

Really ? ๐Ÿ˜

Really ?

I concur; no they don't. ANY frame will crack if too little seatpost is inserted.

steel frames feel nicer with a skinnier seat tube anyway - the fat one is to allow dropper posts.

Hacks are pretty good at getting things wrong!

Yes, but it does increase your trail control and involvement. ๐Ÿ˜

I read the comments above & assumed the review must be by GK, then read it and guess what, it wass.
That dude talks more bizzle than Doddy.

Everyone I know that rode it couldn't say enough good things about it!

As above, that's a pretty positive (!) review but I can see two points that would raise my potential concern;
1) 31.6mm seatpost- is this frame gonna kick like a mule on the bumps:
2) Drop-outs adjusted by a 'thumb-wheel'. I'd be concerned about getting that tight enough to stop it creeping forward...

Slightly OT but my 104 rode really nicely.

That had a 30.0 post. I didn't find it harsh.
