I fancy a possible change from my Aeris, but after getting a gravel bike I'm not that flush so looking at used options.
Must haves are:
650b Boost with room for 2.6 tyres
Sub-150mm travel
FSR/4bar or short twin link with co-rotating links
Bottle bosses within the main triangle
External rear brake routing
Threaded BB
Preferred:
31.6mm seat tube
External gear cable routing
I did find a Transition Scout that ticked all the boxes, except that it was a touch pricy at nearly a grand for a used frame with no warranty (spoiled by my Bird with transferable lifetime!), so I passed on it. Just wondering what other frames I should be searching for, cheers!
Aether 7 obviously......
I sold my 145LT frame in Jan / Feb time and bought an Aether 7 and it’s great. I did consider a Scout as the other main option (Triton cycles I think it was had frames for a good price in a light metallic blue), but I read too much about the rising rate not being very high so they don’t pedal that well.
I did think of that, but ideally looking at used and it's a bit new! Also would really like to try co-rotating (as opposed to counter-rotating) 4bar again if I'm honest.
