[#2005402]

Had a bit of a measure up of ye olde Helius CC today, kinda surprised my self to find the HA was 68deg static and the seat which I knew was pretty steep is 72deg.

Certainly slacker than I thought and an ETT of 22.5" on a large.

Just wondering how this compares with the latest batch of 140mm travel 'must have' trail bikes?

He hee, was doing a bit of maintenance / fettling in the conservatory after food shopping and pre-footie, and I had a little extra time to kill.

No time to ride today but I've got all of tomorrow to myself, yey

Lucky bugger, managed a Dee loop with some of the usual suspects today in wind & a bit of rain.

Nu skool 140mm bikes have 67 HA or slacker and 74 SA or steeper. Slack enough for the downs and seated weight forward enough for the climbs.
