(colour choice and everything cages as options would help) I like the idea of moving towards lighter gauge top and down tube for a zingyier steel feel.
It’s looking likely I will offer an option of ‘classic Swift blue’ for backers and probably get a few extras painted this colour as well. Anything cage mount on the fork is an option now available to backers.
Would another kickstarter option of a package that includes a pair of Duallys or even a complete wheelset be a option?
If the project goes ahead then I will look into possible wheelset packages for backers.
Hmm, I need to find the time for a proper look at geo numbers, but wondering if this would be such a bad idea run with a sus fork and regular wheels, then possibly go 29+ for winter months.
Yes, that should work out OK with a fork up to around 100mm of travel. You have the EBB so you can adjust it to have a bit higher bb if necessary with the smaller wheels.
A have to agree that the 27.2 seat tube is putting me off too.
The 29+ thing is just screaming out for a dropper post.
Not sure I agree (though I am not much of a saddle dropper anyhow) and it’s looking likely I will stick with a 27.2mm post. There are 27.2mm droppers available if people really feel the need.
