Anyone on here?

Wasn't at a trail centre, or strapped to an Audi - so probably not

But I walked past it when you were ordering your lunch and have serious bike envy now. My wife won't thank you.

Im pretty sure I know who it was (friend of mine) and I know he was out that way yesterday looking at his strava page. He would have cycled up from home. Very light for a steel bike and he loves it. Dont see many around which is nice. Go for it ๐Ÿ™‚

It was me having a quick coffee. Built by me, ridden locally by me...never been near an Audi!

I've not ridden it for six months as I've been out on the road bike. Yesterday was its first outing for a while (still running winter tyres) and it was a blast! It's very quick, light and agile and perfect for the local trails.

I have one as well! That one wasn't mine though. What forks are people using on theirs? (assuming its the older gen with the straight steerer)

Why were you there?

It's such a nice looking bike. I wonder if it will take a 120mm fork?

Well its designed round 100mm so an extra 20mm isn't too much of a stretch.

My thinking exactly. Does anybody know max rubber size it will take? And is it a 'high' top tube design? I still can't trust my understanding of geometry charts...

I've got the older version (classic Ritchey colour scheme, straight ht) and I've got a 2.1 Ralph in the back and a 2.25 Ron on the front. No idea what you mean by a high top tube but I can comfortably sit on the top tube but its definitely not level like a road bike.
