" In other words, they wanted a bike that could stand up to months of hard charging on a wide variety of terrain" Not for years? wow...

This frame has the potential to make really happy the “bottle mount lovers!” imagine how many bottles can be fitted inside that frame! Also. May we hope for a fat-bike version?

Well, if you really have to, just one, for your speedometer.

Well, Are we going to see again the cassette gearbox solution by Phaser or not? https://www.cyclingabout.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Phaser-Gearbox-768x425.jpg Athough it is a very nice (and way cheaper than the geared gearboxes) approach, it faded out quite rapidly. If i am correct Alex Morgan (BCDBCD bikes) had designed a similar solution, even before the Phaser, but he didn't cover it with a patent...

if i am not wrong, there's a transmission model on the market called shaft drive that works with a alfine hub.

Couldn’t resist. A rough modernization of the classic in photo shop! https://www.pinkbike.com/photo/21446500/ How the old becomes new again!

They were the fast guys, so when either had a flat or a mechanical, they could count on getting assistance from a slower rider coming up from behind. Spot on! And IF you help that guy, eve by giving him the lecture, he won't get it! Next time he won’t either be ashamed to stop you! So what to do? Simple you estimate the situation. -If it is “one of those idiots” keep on going. This one has a habit of avoiding to be responsible. He has to learn. -If it is a newby or something unexpected / unplanned, then by all means do help. But here, after the help, comes the second phase (more testing): -Did he/she learned? -Will the helped return the spare tube? In my experience, all those years, only friends returned spare tubes. All the rest just disappeared. Sometimes I meet one of them, but they seem to have forgotten, so no spare tube back! Ha! I still cannot get all that hatred from various big headed sports. What’s the story here. Are you going to keep on ridding WITHOUT spare tubes, pump and tools (never returning the spare tube that was offered to you)? When are you going to learn?
