There was a cracking graph in that where he had a quadrant titled, "Can road be fun?"

I have spent a while searching and can't find it. Any ideas?

That article perfectly articulates why I still ride a 26 inch hardtail. (The only drawback is that I am slower than everyone else on the techy downs, but I suspect my lack of skill may also play a part... "No, no, it's definitely the bike" etc.)

How weird, that article just popped up on my Facebook feed...

Looks like Facebook are trawling the forum for site content for their feed...

Good article that. Reflects my collection too (which includes a rigid steel MTB and a surly big dummy)

Turns out I need something to fill the mountain / race corner. Or to put it another way, ive exhausted every budget niche and need something expensive.
