You could go buy a masi of significant weight, or build up your own All City, Surly etc. Or you can buy this light and fast bike that was built with love. No tire kickers please. If you're into bikes like this you know that this is a reasonable price.
Thanks,

All the Winners of the 2019 Pinkbike Advent Calendar
I’ve been playing the lotto everyday since I was legal, I’ve mortgaged my parents house to afford the tickets, I buy more 50/50 tickets than the rest of the hall at my local legions meat draw - never won :(
I just saw that some woman named Karen is set for life after receiving a scratch off in her Christmas stocking. She’s never even played before!!!! Doesn’t anyone know how lottery odds work?!! By my maths I should have won 100 times already Karen!

How Magura Tailor-Made Brakes For Loic Bruni
My Mt7s are the best brakes ever, when they work. Unfortunately they are inconsistent, new pads take weeks to settle, most shops can’t servoce them, and when they fail they totally fail. But when they work, oh man! Best brakes on the planet. Every time I ride I have an internal struggle, do I keep running these terrible brakes? Or do I keep the best brakes ever? 3 seasons later, I still am conflicted.
