I’ve got one….it’s ace! Shameless pic plug
It’s now got a short cage Type 2 clutch mech and a RF narrow wide ring on the way. As pictured it weighs in at 33lbs on the nose but climbs surprisingly well but flies down hills. Its a really confidence inspiring bike to ride that seems to do most things pretty well. If I’m honest, I’d have been better off with a Spitfire but couldbt get a demo on one so went for the Rune instead.
I was also looking at a Covert but the medium that I rode was too small and I didn’t like the way the large looked. Sad I know, but this was the most I’ve ever spent on a frame so wanted one that rode well and still looked good.
The Cane Creek is a worthwhile upgrade…the CTD shock was a bit poo I thought although I did manage to make it ride poorly by getting carried away with fiddling. It’s now back to where it was and we’re back in business! I really liked the fact that I could email Keith who designed it and ask silly questions!
My only complaint is that the 73mm bottom bracket and ISCG05 tabs don’t work with my E13 chain device and Race Face cranks. Due to clearance issues I’ve had to move the bottom bracket spacer over to the drive side which has resulted in a rubbish chainline hence the move to a narrow wide ring and a clutch mech. The same set up (with the correct backplate) was perfect on my SX Trail with old ISCG. Progress hey?
