Video: Rossignol Announce 2023 Factory Team In 'Hunt For The WilderBiker'
I think they started selling bikes a year or two ago. If I remember correctly they're selling open model frames and rebranding them. I don't know anything about how they hold up though.

Specialized's New Epic Uncovered
@jezza169: This is it for me. I'm 5'6" with a 28.5" inseam and have a really difficult time finding frames that I can fit 2 full sized bottles inside of. Heck, sometimes fitting a single full sized bottle can be a challenge! Side loading cages FTW!!

Review: 1,000 Miles on SRAM's New Eagle Transmission
@Glory831Guy: I've read that you run the chain that's compatible with the cassette. Shimano cassettes and chains work just fine with GX AXS. Without the Shimano chain Hyperglide+ doesn't work.

Review: 1,000 Miles on SRAM's New Eagle Transmission
@141: Now that I think about it you're right. Regardless, still feels quite a bit better than 42-52 or 42-50 or SRAM.
What I really wish is for SRAM to release an 11sp cassette with 10-44/45. My fat bike has 11sp GX and an XD driver unfortunately and I've read mixed reviews on the 3rd party XD 11sp cassettes that go to 46T. Too expensive to switch over to Shimano for what it is.

SRAM Releases Stealth Brake Lineup
Had them on my fat bike when I got it. They worked fine until I swapped them out for Shimanos. They now live on my NP Scout and continue to do well.

Review: 1,000 Miles on SRAM's New Eagle Transmission
@bmied31: Fair enough. I do agree that I'd rather have my bikes all take the same $18 mech hanger rather than all having a different one for ~$30 each.
I guess why I said what I did is it feels a little scummy for SRAM to be able to influence frame design in such a way that only they will benefit from as far as new derailleur tech goes. They sure as shit aren't making the direct mount design open source so those who prefer Shimano won't benefit from the advance to direct mount. It feels like market manipulation.

They spent the last several years pushing UDH so companies would make frames that used their new standard. Now they have a huge pool of compatible existing frames to which people can mount their new system. SRAM played the long game under the guise of being consumer friendly.

Review: 1,000 Miles on SRAM's New Eagle Transmission
Shimano actually has a second gear too instead of jumping from 1st straight to 3rd! 10 teeth is still way too much for the last jump. My XT cassette goes 42-46-51 and feels great.

The other post has info on pricing. It's around $1,500 +/- for the groupset.
