Review: 2020 Kona Process 134 CR/DL 29 - A Quick Cornering Trail Bike

I've never owned a road bike, being a converted dirt bike rider. I've been riding in lycra for more than 30 years when it is warm. When you live where it is warm and sunny (definitely not the UK) baggy shorts are too hot.

Rocky Mountain Recalls 2018 Altitude, Instinct, and Pipeline Models for Brake Issue

Under the bottom bracket cables is for road bikes and vintage mountain bikes. RM is a great company, but the last bike I had with cables under the BB was my 1987 Stumpjumper and I will never buy another with the cables in such a dumb place. My 1997 Element TO had great cable routing.
