A minor "Whats wrong with the Industry", but does anyone else think with all the new standards, maybe we could get some standards for measuring things? Like handlebar sweep seems to be just made up numbers in my experience. I've got two sets of bars with the exact same upsweep and back sweep catalogue numbers that feel worlds apart in terms of how straight they are. How the crap are these things measured?
On that note, why are we publishing seat angle measured at stack height? I get that it is impossible/difficult to measure at everyones preferred extension for climbing, but I propose we measure at the height that suits me and everyone else can get stuffed. At least that would be relevant for 1 person in the world, as opposed to the none that currently climb with their seat at stack height.
Anyway, this morning's ponderings aside we can return to Gary trying to convince everyone to get an e-bike. #e-bikesarethenewveganism #noonecares

Because it lets Evil publish numbers that look okay on paper, instead of saying that their bikes have a 32 degree STA?

I built my 90mm carbon rims for about $1000...but then I must not be "performance orientated".
killllllllllllllllll listttttttttttttttttttt
Ummm, maybe. Although you should know better than to utter that before having crushed a half dozen or more beers. At least then you would have a small touch of plausible deniability.
But yes, from a practicality point of view, that would be a hard NO.
For an engineering and manufacturing challenge - well done.
what's wrong with more high pivot bikes?
Nothing.... But whats with "downcountry" instead of just calling it a trail bike? And electronic dropper posts....meh.
Maybe where you are..... Price in the US is a steal at only $1,000Only at a bargain price of €1547,50/$1766,62
Another niche for the industry lizards to fill.
That's the power meter version, hence they're overpriced.
Ah carry on then. Nice cranks no doubt, but I'm no dentist.
Saw a guy with that Trust fork on the trail this weekend 
lolololololololololololololololololSaw a guy with that Trust fork on the trail this weekend
What did you do? Pedal by on your e-bike?Saw a guy with that Trust fork on the trail this weekend
We were taking a safety break when he rolled by. He did not look like he was about to send anything. I yelled at him that his fork costs more than my bike
lol wut?
