First Look: Mondraker's Downcountry Hardtails
YAWN.
475mm reach and 68.5 HA on the XL.... Geo is old as hell.
The Podium RR; their full on XC RACE HARDTAIL has 500mm reach and 68 degree HA on a 100mm travel fork...
They could have been onto something here but just made the same boring hardtail that every other brand has. literally the only reason to buy this is that Mondraker is the only brad your local shop sells.

RAAW Mountain Bikes Offers Rolling Chassis Option
I though Newman was Cube's inhouse brand ala roval, bontrager, syncros. weird to see them crop up here but i guess that speaks to the quality!

Here's That £300 3D-Printed Titanium Stem You Wanted
@Hairyteabags: Sturdy's printed parts are made for them by Metron anyway. so the "better options for engineers" are the same engineers.

Oct 7, 2022Argon 18 Krypton X Road XL
$400 GBPSelling my argon 18 krypton gravel /road frame as I’ve swapped to more of a go slow bike-packing style gravel bike.
£480 ONO
•2017 model bought new in 2019 Full carbon frame and fork so a couple of standards to take note of:
• includes the post mount brake callipers (compatible with all shimano road hydraulic levers!) ready to be built up.
•QR front and rear not thru-axle but most road wheels are convertible! -
I ran some Slightly older but still very nice carbon XC race 29er mtb wheels
(these are 10 a penny now and a great option as Nearly all non boost mtb wheels convertible at convertible to qr! And won’t fit in peoples new shiny mtb bikes)
Great nick and lovely bike to ride more than adequate for most Uk gravel/ paths and even MTB trails.
Clearance for 35mm file treads but anything properly knobbly might be pushing it!
I ran either 33c Michelin power gravel tyres or WTB 35c slicks and it was ace
.Few scuff marks on the chain stays and form from riding in the mud but nothing you wouldn’t expect on a bike that’s been ridden on mixed terrain.
Any questions fire away!

Video: Transition Announces Carbon Patrol Coming This Fall
this is nice and all @TransitionBikeCompany, But where is the Alloy Spur? It sucks that there are basically no XCish bikes with proper geo at a decent price point. and you had alloy smugglers and bandits in the range?
I'm still on a 2018 alloy Kona Hei Hei as i haven't seen a better alloy frame option for a fun XC bike with a decent sized XL

Review: The Evil Epocalypse is Equal Parts Balance & Brawn
The EPO-calypse already happened in the late 90s guys. Old news. Ironically its probably cheaper to buy EPO than a top spec e-bike to climb faster these days.
