SRAM Patent Shows Mechanical Transmission Derailleur With Smart Setup Feature

@DCF: Sounds like you want something like the Privateer 161 ;) Performance Elite suspension, Hayes brakes, HUNT Enduro Wide V2 wheels, and a good cable-operated drivetrain. Also less than £3000 if you have the coupon code :D https://www.privateerbikes.com/products/privateer-161

@TommyNunchuck: No 181, but the 161 can become the 174 if you over stroke it :D

Hi, yup the toptube does offer more standover and water bottle space, but the main reason for the change when developing the bikes was a 3x longer fatigue life. We want a bike that lasts and has your back season after season. Funny you should mention a 121 there was one knocking about ;)

@Hubyuckle: Not sure about the name :D As mentioned in a few other replies, the toptube design isn't just for water bottle spacing. The largest benefit is that the updated toptube design is 3x more durable than the design we originally tested. It also meant we could offer more standover, room for a tool mount AND allow every size to run a larger bottle.

@hgardner: Hi, thanks for the comment. The TT design has a number of benefits. Standover height is one, and so is bottle space, but the largest benefit is durability. Compared to the original prototype design, the production top tube proved to be 3x more durable, and for privateer riders, we wanted to offer a really long-lasting and durable frame. You can also run dual crowns with the new TT design too, not something every rider will do but it's an option :D
