I can imagine Transition launching the next Crab Sentinel

What a time to be alive

For simplicities sake I'll be using the king crab's pricing from this site: https://fishmanmkt.com/pages/market-prices WeAreOne: 39.53 lbs - $1976.10 Intense: 41.8 lbs lbs - $2089.58 Greg's Norco: 45.15 lbs - $2257.04 Gracie's Norco: 43.28 lbs - $2163.56 Transition: 39.37 lbs - $1968.10 Trek: 42.57 lbs - $2128.92 Giant: 39.29 lbs - $1964.10 Crestline - 39.88 lbs - $1993.60 Atherton - 40.32 lbs - $2015.59 Gamux - 44.62 lbs - $2230.55 Pivot - 36.38 lbs - $1818.63 Personally I'd love to pay crab pricing rather than the pricing we have now. Which of these athletes would consider trading to me their...

Given UDH is an open standard and becoming industry wide it would make sense for Shimano to utilize it............so of course they won't do it.

Horst link is one of the variants of a 4 bar design.

This might be the most unexciting bike I've seen in ages

You can get medication for that.

I love to complain and I'm a robot.

Stop this now. You are using logic and facts to explain pricing. They won’t like it. But seriously this - look at that stumpy - s-works and full top end Fox - that is always going to equal big bucks. But guess what - Specialized aren’t forcing you to buy it - there are cheaper versions of the Stumpjumer you can buy…. 🤦🏻‍♂️ I’ve come to the conclusion that humans just like to complain regardless of facts.

Linkglide has been spectacular for me. Might be my favorite groupset ever (it replaced dog puke NX, so that probably makes it seem better). Every low spec ebike should come with it.

In his post-US Open Wyn TV interview, Lachie made sure to metion how well his Trek bike rides and carries speed. He must be signed by them by now...

Not sure that I got any real deals but, for me, I have bought seven new bikes this year. Not all of them have arrived yet. I've also bought a Liv e-mtb for my wife and a couple of bikes for my boys (almost 2 years old and 6 years old). In looking at my history though, this is pretty normal for me over the last 6 years. If you really want a list (mine only): Generation 3 Pivot Switchblade (XTR build, stripped and upgraded to what I want) S-works Epic 8 Mondraker Neat RR SL Transition PBJ Atherton AM...

Well, I think it makes more sense on a road/gravel bike IMO I've had heaps of road punctures etc - can store wind jacket etc in the frame. Vs MTB... big rides are usally at the point of hip pack anyway or shuttle'd For reference i've used alot of bikes with storage, Stumpy evo, slash.... marin etc i've used it once, to put my wind jacket away on the EVO... and that was on a local ride. Never used it otherwise... id rather my tube be on the frame if i ever needed it(which i dont)... as most internal storage...
