Thinking about swapping my Scandal (V2) 29er frame for something a bit slacker/more competent on the downs, these are reasonable money, but I can’t find much in the way of reviews or opinion on them?
On paper looks ok, geometry similar to Scandal but 2° slacker head angle (70° v 72°) while retaining same seat tube angle so should climb similarly.
My only reservation is that it might be a bit harsh for all dayers and bike packing? The scandal is regarded as very comfy by alot of people. I don’t really want to spend steel frame money, but want something less steep and racey to use as an all rounder.
Any advice or experience appreciated.
