@opignonlibre: what if you're not buying from the original owner?

Downtube storage ftw! Its kind of silly, but one of the main driving reasons behind selling my '18 Capra was for a bottle cage and downtube storage. I ended up with a Specialized Enduro that had that.

the height adjust without having to drill another hole is a nice idea. But i'm not gonna go out and replace all my steady racks. Well, half of my steady racks aren't meant for 2.5" tires. maaaybe i'd replace some of them...

Same. Ever since the search for animal chin.

I'd need to be on an enduro bike for that one. lol

I have been pretty neutral about ebikes the past few years. People have their reasons for wanting them. My reason for not wanting them was because I enjoy the whole cycling experience (I also have dabbled in road/gravel riding in recent years). Meaning there is something I enjoy about the climbs and getting stronger at the climbs I do regularly. Its certainly not as much fun to me as the descent, but I enjoy the accomplishment. It doesn't bother me when I get passed by someone whether on an ebike or not. They have their own pace and I have mine. But then the local bike park with lifts got its first full season under its belt last year. I went up there most weekends they were open and sometimes on a weekday after work. laps on laps on laps. Now I want an ebike so I can get more laps on my local trails too. Then there's those days after work where I would be able to get further up the mountain on an ebike for a longer descent. I voted for a full size ebike. The way I see it, with a lightweight ebike, I'd still have to ride really slow with my friends on regular bikes, but I wouldn't be able to do as much as my friends with full size ebikes.
