So…Jane Heine just reinvented the Bridgestone XO-1?
personally I read maximum rock’n roll on the toilet (sometimes religiously, other times not so)
XO-1 only fitted like, 42mm tyres though eh? And had Moustache bars. Moustache!
In a word, yes!
The point is that those old classics are impossible to find, so whats wrong with a modern reinterpretation?
Beards Quarterly?
And I’m pretty sure there was more than just ‘knob shaving’ when they were doing those tyres.
New geo! Less Sizes! BB tweaks!
“5. Bottom bracket height raised by 7mm, to 272mm with a 65mm drop”
For comparo
Where did the 52 go? BB is even higher!!
stack and reach for size 60 now match size 63 CAAD/super6
surely this means it will be as fast a proper roadie then
Bb height still decent though. Bring it oonnnnnnnn!
I assume you’re on the pre-order H?
That 60cm frame is gonna be one seriously ugly mudda
Seriously thinking about it. But lets face it- as cool as it is, its essentially a new fangled vintage mtb, without disc brakes. Hard to justify the price
^geometry is quite different, far more like a road bike. Most OG mountain bikes that I have seem have slacker angles HA/SA - 72 or less and ridiculously long seat stays.
horatio are you real
QFTruth
dunno what guy is using to work it out but the numbers don’t stack (or reach) up
Im not buying one, but is it a crime to like the idea??
as far as i can tell, yes.
Just buy a shogun from 1996!!!
Ha! Maths - who needs it?!
