Is this a custom painted Megatower? Looks amazing. I thought it was only available in four colors and this isn't one of them.

One thing that might be skewing the data is demographics and age. I'm a college student, and I primarily ride gravity oriented bikes, just like almost everyone I know my age. So when TPC offered $500 for my bike that I sold the next week on Marketplace for $1300, there's no way I'm taking that deal. That's a large portion of my income each year, and the difference in price is a whole new Zeb.

It does little good to have the option of the hose length will then be too short to swap it over.

Thank you! I was wondering this myself. They call this a benefit, but I'm not so sure. Seems to me like another solution is search of a problem.

Does the rear brake caliper really need to be protected? From what? And hiding it behind the frame just makes the frame more bulky. Plus, had any of the designers deciding for this brake layout ever adjusted their brakes? How exactly do you see if there's a gap between the pad and rotor with the caliper positioned as it is here??
