It is funny to read those on the south coast moaning about “endless slog this winter”
Try living north of the Midlands and you wouldn’t have ridden since October. 😉
I have the small framed half fat (and 29er front option) Ti spaceframe and a Ti large framed 29er plus with rigid forks (so no real comparison I know) both running on Rohloff’s
The spaceframe is my go to fun bike and short ride bivi bike.
Any ride over 50 miles the 29er plus is my go to bike and it carries a lot more gear as well
