Just had a look – the £1400 chisel comes with a RS Judy silver with turnkey damping. I think that has 30mm stanchions and the damper is very budget.
For that price I’d want at least Recons with 32mm stanchions and a motion control damper. Deore 12 speed is probably par for the money but it also has cheap hubs and no name rims. The geometry might be more what you’re after though – not a huge reach, 68 degree head angle, slack ish seat angle etc.
Maybe something the like On-One Scandel might be good middle ground. 120mm fork, fairly light alloy frame etc. Maybe too close to the Stoic though I guess.
