Ive just bought a Large version of my current frame, 2016 bizango (yeah yeah, halfords crap- carry on!) as im getting old fat and past it, and want to see if a trade off for efficency over chuckability will suit me, so its getting built from all the bits i’ve upgraded on my medium frame.
So that means the large frame will be built as per it left halfords, complete with the normal style seat post.
It’s gonna be interesting, as people above have already said, the dropper is used as everything from a hill start aid, waiting about at gates feet on the floor, another gear on climbs, techy rock gardens, steep descents…
