I won’t go so far as to suggest not fit for purpose but definitely a foolish (from my point of view) design “feature”
I took delivery of a new frame yesterday which is duly being sent back today and exchanged for last year’s.
I’d eventually talked my self into the updated 2015 model which was an overly wide (IMHO for the material) 31.6 seat tube for “your favourite dropper seat post”, in my case as it would fit both the hope seat post and possibly in future ks i950 I already had.
All well and good.
Only in order to not detract from the ride character the tube is flared at the top to accept a wider post, and the flare is only 150mm deep at best.
This means a non dropper post won’t go in the frame beyond pedaling height, also were I at the shorter end of the frame size I’d not be able to put a dropper in far enough either.
So to make me a little less exasperated, what silly design “features” have annoyed you?
