It looks nice, but isn’t it just an alloy version of the carbon Epic? (Which can also be had with sids for £2.7k)
Are you talking about the new Epic 8? Or the old one? As Geo is very similar to the new 8. Not sure how it compares to the older one.
Flex alloy seat-stays seems like a really bad idea, is this a common design feature?
I see this comment quite often. I know nothing about metal flex or fatigue, but i am guessing someone at Specialized does, otherwise they wouldnt bring a bike to market that has the potential to fail. Wouldnt be great business sense.
There are also other manufacturers that employ the same tech.
